Slip, slop, slap – it’s time to kick back at Fed Oasis Comfy seating and shaded areas? Tick. Order food from our cafes and restaurants, and have it delivered to you in the square? Tick. Live music on the stage, classic films, giveaways, daily meditation experiences and more? Tick, tick, and tick. You spoke; we listened: Fed Oasis is bringing comfy seating, shady umbrellas and plenty of (recycled, environmentally-friendly) astroturf to save the kiddies’ knees – somewhere soft to sit and soak up the surroundings has always been our most-requested addition, and with Fed Oasis it’s finally here. And if that throat is a little thirsty once you’re seated comfortably, just whip out the phone and order food and drink from one of the many brilliants bars, cafes and restaurants around you – and the goods will be delivered to you right there in the square! Talk about gold-class (gold grass?) luxury – and combined with our sport, Friday fed-itation with Laughscape and movie schedule, there’s no better place to be for fun in the sun or a balmy evening out. Who’s delivering grub? Mama’s Canteen Transport  Chocolate Buddha Timeout Cafe Service of alcohol is not permitted in the square. Service Times: 12pm – 2pm and 6pm – 8.30pm daily. Please use the bins provided in the square to dispose of your waste.

Sun’s out, fun’s out! If you’re looking for somewhere to enjoy the long weekend, we’ve got a schedule of goodies lined up to keep the family entertained. There’s nothing quite like live music – and from the jazzy Jack Earle Big Band, Mighty Duke & The Lords and Fed Live finalists Taylah Caroll and Franke James, there’s something for everyone live and free on the main stage all weekend long. Bringing the kiddies along too? You’re in luck – family-friendly clowning entertainers Don’t Mess With The Dummies are putting on a free, live show – with free smoothies for the crowd, too! Our Summer of Classic Films continues with a list of home-grown Aussie classics – kick back on our new comfy seating and enjoy Red Dog, The Castle, Muriel’s Wedding, Priscilla, Queen of the Desert, Bran Nue Day, Australia Daze and Strictly Ballroom! If the sun gets too hot, then we have a treat for you – Collision is our latest interactive art exhibit, made from light projections on a wall of atomised water. You’re cordially invited to run amok through it and cool down – as the great Sebantian the Crab once said: everything’s better when it’s wetter. Did you enjoy Fed, Actually? To thank our invaluable frontline workers – and all the people of Victoria – for their hard work and perseverance last year, we’re opening up the Big Screen for your custom messages of goodwill – just pop them in the form below and you might just see it in person at Fed Square! Finally, join us for our livestream of Share the Spirit, a commemoration of the survival of Australia’s First Nations people and a family-friendly day of live music, performances, art and culture. Not to be missed. At Fed Square, we acknowledge that we are gathered on the lands of the Kulin nations. We respect their traditions and embrace their traditional and contemporary expression. What’s On?
