Design Victoria is a four day festival celebrating the city and the island’s growing design community. Our aims are to bring together different parts of the creative community and show the value of good design.
During the festival, 1-4 May 2025, events happen across the city and beyond, organised by Design Victoria’s partners. These include special installations, exhibitions, events, open houses, tours and workshops - and the official Launch Party.
