Broadmeadows set to come alive for Festival of Football
As The Socceroos prepare to kick off for the FIFA World Cup in North America, football fans will be able to catch the action live and local at Broadmeadows this June.
Beginning Sunday 14 June when Australia begin their World Cup campaign against Türkiye. There will be four full days of live action at Broadmeadows Town Hall Carpark throughout the month.
More than just a sporting event, the precinct will transform into an entertainment hub featuring World Cup action live on big screens, live music, food trucks, family-friendly movies, come-and-try football activities, a rock-climbing wall, and kids colouring activities to create a vibrant Festival of Football for all ages.
Delivered as part of Project Broadmeadows, the free community event will bring locals and visitors together. Pop-up stalls and on-site activations will showcase the future opportunities of the suburb as thriving, inclusive and connected.
Project Broadmeadows is proudly funded by the Australian Government through the Urban Precincts and Partnerships Program. The Football of Festival is delivered by Hume City Council on behalf of the Project Broadmeadows partnership.
Thank you to our project partners Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung, Kangan Institute, Vicinity Group, Banksia Gardens Community Services, DPV Health, Northern Community Legal Service, Spectrum, and the Victorian Government.
