Home to the Festival is the City of Moreland, one of the most culturally diverse communities in Australia with 35% of its residents born outside Australia and with many languages other than English spoken in the home. Cultural activities have produced a vibrant artistic community with a growing emergence in the last decade. This influx of artists continues to shape and change the cultural life of the City. Amidst this colourful backdrop, the Brunswick Music Festival has emerged, bringing world music to our doorsteps!
For 2008 in its 20th incarnation the Brunswick Music Festival celebrates in style with a line-up of the world's best in world, folk and roots music, a spectacular opening night concert, classic films played to contemporary scores and as always the Sydney Road Street Party to get it all underway.
