Moomba

This festival is held in Melbourne during the Labour Day long weekend (the first Friday to the second Monday in March. It is run by the Melbourne City Council. The first Moomba was in 1955, and we have on display a flier for that year which explains what the organisers set out to do.

In Pasadena it’s the Tournament of Roses

Nice in France the Battle of Flowers

In Scotland the Edinburgh Festival of Arts

Now it’s Moomba in Melbourne

Melbourne’s Answer! This is the first time in Australia that such a programme of music, sport and culture has been presented during two weeks of carnival. Come to Moomba and enjoy.
