Explore the FUSE program - a new, dynamic arts and culture festival which is set to transform Darebin from the 13 – 29 March 2020.
FUSE brings artists, communities and audiences to our streets, parks, venues, theatres and galleries to immerse themselves in art, culture and creativity of all forms.
This March, FUSE incorporates some of Darebin’s all-time favourite festival activities including Backyard Harvest garden tours and workshops, a Meet the Makers homemade wine tasting event and the ever-popular kite flying field.
Festival-goers will be able to gather in the heart of Preston on the lands of the Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung for the FUSE Opening Party and launch of major projection project, Tapestry on Friday 13 March from 7pm – 11pm at Preston
Library. A Call to Country will kick-off celebrations, and as darkness descends, new projection works from local Aboriginal artists will come alive alongside live sound, performance and food trucks.
Children and their adults will delight in a day of family fun with art and craft workshops, circus, kite flying, a very strange garden and a field of talking see-saws with Keon Spark on Sunday 22 March at 11am – 4pm taking place at Keon Park Children’s Hub in Reservoir.
Local designers, crafters and art-makers curated by Kelli Vizzari (Make It Collective) will bring unique fashion, jewellery and homewares to Civic Square, Northcote Town Hall with the FUSE Design Market on Saturday 28 March at 12pm – 9pm. Be inspired to create your own amazing upcycled piece with Fast Fashun. With pop-up runway shows, tunes and food, all ages and skill levels are welcome to drop in.
The FUSE Closing Party will celebrate the culmination of 16 days of creative risk taking and art making with an evening of performance, dance, live music and DJs on Saturday 28 March from 6pm – 9pm at Civic Square, Northcote Town Hall.
And there's so much more. We believe that no matter who you are, you’re bound to find something that moves you, connects you or excites you in the inaugural program.

FUSE. Locally unexpected.
FUSE offers a fresh approach to festival programming in Darebin and presents a unique program twice a year in autumn and spring. Over the next few years FUSE will grow into a month long festival each season and provide more exciting opportunities for the community, including artists, to engage in new ways in more parts of Darebin.
