FREE in focus festival: family art adventure in footscray and yarraville
/
Looking for something a little different to do with the kids?
The In Focus Festival is lighting up Footscray and Yarraville now until May 31, with a series of outdoor photography installations. Mamma says it’s perfect for a family adventure, a weekend mission or even some after-school fun!
The exhibitions pop up in laneways, on billboards and in unexpected spots that have been transformed into open-air galleries - it’s like a treasure hunt for art, right in the heart of the West. Check out the full program of events here - there are also some great talks and events happening.
A ready-made family outing
Mamma loves that you can explore this one at your own pace across the full festival period. Grab the kids, pick a starting point (Footscray or Yarraville) and see what you can discover along the way.
You’ll find:
Fantastic photography installations dotted through the streets
Easy walking routes (pram-friendly too!)
Plenty of spots to stop for a snack or coffee along the way
Mamma’s special mentions: Don’t miss this one for families
There’s even a walking tour just for families on Wednesday May 13 at 4pm, designed for kids and the young at heart. It’s a great way to explore the festival together and learn a little along the way
