Port Phillip Mussel & Jazz Festival Port Phillip Mussel & Jazz Festival

Save the date! The iconic Port Phillip Mussel & Jazz Festival returns to South Melbourne Market on the Labour Day long weekend in March.

We'll be throwing a two-day seafood street party in honour of the mighty mollusc, set to a soundtrack featuring some of the city's best 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, cooking demonstrations, kid's activities, roving performances, giveaways and more! It's free, family friendly and a whole lot of fun.
