City North Shared Futures Festival 2026

Mark your calendars! The City North Shared Futures Festival is back for its third year, returning on Saturday 3 October, from 11am to 4pm.

For one day only, Cardigan Street will once again be closed to traffic and transformed into a vibrant festival space, bringing together communities to connect, create, collaborate and celebrate in RMIT’s City North Social Innovation Precinct, at the heart of Melbourne’s City North district.

Expect an exciting afternoon of live music, performances, delicious food and immersive experiences, with community-led innovation around every corner. Discover the people, projects and partnerships shaping the future of our city while exploring one of Melbourne’s most exciting innovation precincts.

This year’s festival program is bigger than ever and is still taking shape, with more details on performers, community organisations, creative experiences and special activities to be announced in the coming months.

Save the date and join us as we celebrate another year of creativity, connection and community in the heart of City North.
