About events in Northcote

Northcote strikes a balance between laid-back neighbourhood living and lively cultural life. We find streets lined with independent shops, old-school pubs and a scattering of bars where the music spills out onto the footpath. The suburb is known for its strong community feel and creative energy, drawing both locals and visitors in search of live music, comedy nights, and art shows. There’s always something happening, whether it’s acoustic sets in intimate venues or bigger gigs in historic halls. Cafés hum with conversation by day, while evenings see the area come alive with performances and social gatherings.

Getting to Northcote is easy enough, as it sits just north of the city centre. The Mernda train line takes us straight to Northcote Station, and trams rumble along High Street, connecting the suburb with neighbouring areas. No matter the season, Northcote offers a welcoming pocket of local culture, where casual charm and creativity go hand in hand.
