F1 Melbourne Fan Festival 2026
This festival is back in town for its second year. Wander over to Fed Square, and watch the Formula 1, Formula 2, Formula 3 and Supercars on the big screen from provided seating. You’ll also see live crosses direct from the Albert Park Grand Prix Circuit, and exclusive footage like the Melbourne Walk, or interviews from superstars like Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris.
“There’s something really special about seeing the city come alive during race week, and the F1 Melbourne Fan Festival is all about sharing that vibe,” said Travis Auld, Australian Grand Prix Corporation CEO. “Whether you’ve got a ticket to the race or not, we want to give everyone a chance to experience that atmosphere and excitement of the event all across Melbourne.”
When you’re not watching the broadcasts, have a blast with racing simulators, get up close to the next generation F1 show car, experience the rush of stepping to the top of the podium, and snap a pic with your favourite driver at the virtual F1 Driver Selfie activation.
You’ll also have access to the full range of F1 team merchandise.
If you need to fuel up, food and drinks will also be available for purchase.
