THE CHAPEL STREET FESTIVAL IS BACK!

The Chapel Street Precinct Association (CSPA) is pleased to announce the long-awaited return of the iconic Chapel Street Festival in 2024!

There has been a groundswell of support to bring back the much-loved Chapel Street Festival and we have been working tirelessly to get the support needed to make it happen!

We are grateful for the boost from the State Government and look forward to the celebration in early 2024 of what makes our Chapel Street Precinct such an important destination for Melbourne and the state!

Detailed consultation will take place in the next 12 months aiming to ensure this festival provides a significant economic return for our iconic Precinct.

We will soon be looking for local business leaders to form a sub-committee to assist with the planning of this festival, please click this link to register your interest or share your ideas!

“I am honoured to be given the opportunity to lead the team to bring back the iconic Chapel Street Festival. This will be a huge step forward in helping restore the energy and diversity of the world-class destination that is Chapel Street,” said Matt Lanigan.
