Welcome

Cr Alex Makin

Mayor, City of Port Phillip

City of Port Phillip is proud to present the 45th fun, free and fabulous St Kilda Festival.

St Kilda Festival always puts on a fantastic show - 2026 continues this tradition. 

We’re excited to welcome Mental As Anything back after 25 years in the Big Festival Sunday lineup alongside other amazing acts including Jessica Mauboy and Sneaky Sound System.

Talented artists BARKAA and Selve will set the pace at First Peoples First on the Saturday. Come along for the music, food, activities, culture and rides at this joyful two-day celebration of the live music that our City is known and loved for. There really is something for everyone at this family-friendly festival.

SKF is also a great opportunity to explore our City’s fantastic shops, venues and art. Check out the full program and plan your experience to make a day (or two) of it! 

There are many moving parts to an event of this magnitude. I’d like to give a big thank you to the wonderful sponsors and incredible artists who help make this massive celebration possible.

See you there!
