This ten day festival promises a world of fun.
If you’ve been missing live music, you’re going to love this. Leaps and Bounds Music Festival is back and is taking over the City of Yarra for ten days this July. There’s going to be live music (of course), as well as other fun things like a pop-up cinema and an underground roller disco. Leaps and Bounds is taking place from Friday July 16 to Sunday July 25.
The festival program is jam-packed with things to do. There will be live music and events happening in Abbotsford, Collingwood, Fitzroy, Fitzroy North and Richmond.
Cinema under the stars
Kicking off the event is a pop-up cinema under the stars. Head to Whitlam Place in Fitzroy for this free event. Across three nights, from Friday July 16 to Sunday July 18, there will be screenings of films like Footloose, My Name is Gulpilil and The Adventures of Priscilla Queen of the Dessert. These screenings will start at 6pm and end around 10pm, so bring a blanket to keep warm!

On Saturday July 17, head to Collingwood Carpark to take part in a fantastic underground roller disco. Go skating in the roller rink and get the good vibes going with some awesome tunes.
