The Lonsdale Street Festival, which is staged in the heart of the City of Melbourne's Greek Precinct, attracts over 100,000 people across the weekend, who head to the street to enjoy two stages of free entertainment, an assortment of food stalls, children's activities, cooking demonstrations and trader displays. Fully licensed and catered, the

Barbaresso Oyzo Ouzeri will be set up on street, offering a little Greek island bar experience in the centre of Lonsdale Street. Open all weekend it will be a cool little spot to relax from the bustle, and soak in some music from local DJs.
