Experience Footscray: Culture, Community and Connection

Just 6km and 3 train stops from Melbourne’s CBD, Footscray is a vibrant suburb with over 135 cultural groups, known for its food, arts, and community spirit, festivals, markets, parks and riverside trails. Footscray is where culture, creativity, and community come together - vibrant, welcoming, and uniquely “Westside”.

The local food scene is world-class - from Vietnamese pho and Ethiopian injera to Italian pastries and modern fusion - many of which share generational deep stories. Art and creativity thrive through street murals, galleries, live music, festivals, theatre, and cultural diversity. The city centre mixes independent shops, restaurants, bars, grocers, co-working spaces, local services, and the famous Footscray Market.
