Summer Street Party 2026

Albany Highway turns into one big free celebration on Saturday 14 November, from 4pm to 9pm. Here’s what’s on, how to get there and how to make Park Centre part of your day.

Summer has officially found its way to Vic Park. The Town of Victoria Park’s Summer Street Party returns on Saturday 14 November, closing Albany Highway to traffic and filling it with music, performers, food trucks, markets and carnival rides.

The party runs from the Dane/Hampshire Street intersection all the way to Sussex Street North – and Park Centre sits right at the Dane Street end. That makes us the perfect place to start your afternoon, meet up with friends or take a breather between acts.

Best of all, it’s completely free to attend.

What’s on

This year’s party is hosted by the fabulous Famous Sharron, with something happening on every block of the strip.

• Whale Song – an interactive art performance by Curious Legends that’s sure to be a crowd favourite.
• Live music and DJs – country-pop artist Claudia Tripp, Twelve Parsecs and beats from DJ Yanique on the Summer Stage.
• Drag, roving performers and street acts – including drag duo Cougar Morrison and Fay Rocious.
• The famous Foam Party – the best way to beat the late-afternoon heat.
• Carnival rides – for big kids and little ones alike.
• Food trucks and market stalls – local makers, sweet treats and plenty of dinner options.
• Public art – including work from Lewis Horne Arts.

The official welcome kicks off at 5pm, with a Welcome to Country by Robyn Collard followed by Mayor Karen Vernon. Full performance times and the event map are on the Town of Victoria Park website.

Make Park Centre part of your party

Whether you’re grabbing supplies before the fun starts or need a cool spot to regroup, Park Centre has you covered.

• Stock up before you head out – sunscreen, water, snacks and picnic supplies from [Coles / Woolworths / other anchor tenant].
• Refuel and cool down – escape the heat in the air-conditioning and grab a bite from our food retailers.
• Meet up with your crew – Park Centre is an easy, recognisable meeting point at the Dane Street end of the party.
• Get a head start on Christmas – the party is the perfect excuse to tick a few gifts off the list.

Getting there

Albany Highway will be closed to traffic from 6am to midnight between Dane/Hampshire Street and Sussex Street North. Detours will run via Dane Street at the south-east end and Sussex Street at the north-west end.

Public transport, walking or riding is the easiest way to get in. If you’re driving, allow extra time and check road closures before you leave.

[Parking at Park Centre: confirm whether the car park is open and accessible on the day, any time limits, and which entry to use given the road closures.]

For the full transport guide and road closure map, visit the Town of Victoria Park website.
