2026 Victorian Interfaith Festival
An annual multifaith and multicultural festival
Hosted by Faith Communities Council of Victoria (FCCV)
About this event
Every November, Melbourne’s faith communities come together for a day that’s genuinely about connection and sharing. If you’ve ever wanted to experience the city’s spiritual and cultural diversity up close, this is a welcoming way in-think food, stories and music under one historic roof.
The Faith Communities Council of Victoria, in partnership with City of Port Phillip and Port Phillip Multifaith Network, would like to invite you to the 2026 Victorian Interfaith Festival on Sunday, November 15 2026 @ St. Kilda Town Hall.
About the Festival: The Victorian Interfaith Festival is a free public event which brings together Victoria’s diverse faith and cultural communities through interactive cultural activities, performances, workshops, and shared food experiences.
The Festival promotes cross-cultural understanding and social cohesion while addressing shared community issues such as anti-racism and inclusion.
Each year the event is held in a different Local Government Area (LGA) to showcase the various faith communities living in that region.
Now in its 17th year, the Festival is a flagship event for multifaith collaboration in Victoria.

St Kilda Town Hall is one of those places where everyone feels at ease, and during the Interfaith Festival, the usual grandeur of the building gives way to open conversation and casual mingling. Locals know the atmosphere is relaxed and friendly, with plenty of opportunities to chat with people from all walks of life. Expect drumming circles, tea ceremonies, and lots of interesting food stalls-plus the odd impromptu dance or song. This is ideal if you’re curious about different beliefs or want to introduce kids to Melbourne’s multicultural side in a no-pressure setting. What really sets it apart is how approachable it all feels: you can dip in for a workshop or linger for hours, and nobody minds if you’re just there to look around.
