Port Phillip Mussel & Jazz Festival

The Port Phillip Mussel & Jazz Festival returns on the Labour Day Long Weekend in March 2025.

11am - 9pm, Saturday 8 and Sunday 9 March

Cecil Street will be closed to traffic and the Market will come alive with a two-day seafood street party celebrating our favourite mollusc, set to a soundtrack featuring some of the city's best in jazz and soul musicians. The festival will feature a great range of street food vendors (for the non-seafood lovers, there will still be plenty to choose from!), a main stage of live music, bar, workshops, cooking demonstrations, kid's activities, roving performances, giveaways and more! It's free, family friendly and a whole lot of fun.
