Melbourne International Arts Festival

Melbourne International Arts Festival


8 - 23 October 2010
Melbourne, Victoria, Australia



Melbourne International Arts Festival is Australia's premier celebration of international performing and visual arts and Melbourne's flagship cultural event.

Since first being staged in 1986 as the third Spoleto Festival (with Spoleto, Italy, and Charleston, USA), Melbourne Festival quickly forged an unique identity and remains the only festival in Australia to be born from international heritage.

Held each year in October, Melbourne Festival is the pre-eminent destination festival in the nation, ensuring interstate and international visitation by exclusively debuting and premiering some of the finest national and international artists and companies.
