The City of Stonnington's award-winning Glow Winter Arts Festival is back in 2016, bigger and better than ever. Embracing the strong artistic communities of Stonnington, with everything from comedy clubs to cinema, theatre, roving performers and live music, the diverse program offers something for arts lovers of all ages.



Running from 11th to 21st August, the packed program of free and ticketed events takes place on rooftops, in intimate spaces and traditional theatres. You can find the full program here .

Below are some of the Festival highlights.

Flicks 'n' Feasts

Flicks 'n' Feasts has become a staple of the Glow line up, bringing four nights of themed FREE open-air cinema to Market Lane (next to Prahran Market). Delicious offerings from Melbourne's favourite food vans will be themed to match screenings of popular cult films such as Gremlins (1984), Labyrinth (1986), Roman Holiday (1953), and BMX Bandits (1983).



Blankets will be available for hire for those seeking the ultimate cosy experience.
