Melbourne
has always had a passion for sport. But equally, the city has also held
a deep love of the arts and culture.
In March 2006, these passions will run side by side.
Funded by the Victorian and Federal Governments, Festival Melbourne2006 will bring together artists and performers from across Australia and the Commonwealth for a celebration of contemporary music, dance, exhibitions, circus and street theatre.
