The Melbourne Art Festival is back!  It is a nationally recognized event that draws tourists and artists to historic downtown Melbourne every year.  The event is host to over 250 artists who are exhibiting their work and competing for $38,000 in patron purchase awards and $27,500 in cash prizes.

The festival always draws plenty of local food vendors that set up and offer their goodies.  They are going to be collectively set up as a Food Court this year off Depot Drive which will be convenient for the guests and vendors.  Their is always live music and events for the kids.  The festival planners will set up an entire Kids World where there are art workshops and activities to keep the little ones busy. 

This event will draw approximately 80,000 attendees this year and you should be one of them.  Join the city of Melbourne for their annual Art Festival and have a great time.
