High Vibes
High Vibes is one of Melbourne’s best music festivals. As the finale of the Darebin Music Feast, this annual daylong festival showcases a huge selection of diverse and vibrant music in the arts and retail precinct of High St, Northcote.
With increasingly high profile bands playing at more than 20 venues and a growing number of outdoor music stages, this exciting day sees the closure of part of High St to enable the crowds to really celebrate.
The mass of people who attend the event (about 80,000 in 2008) and participation of up to 80 local High St traders create a true party atmosphere that simply has to be experienced.
In addition, the evolution of High Vibes to meet the needs of the local community has included the creation of a family friendly Kid Zone.
Initiated by the Northcote Business Association in 2001, High Vibes is more than just a great day of music, it is a celebration of Northcote’s unique character.
