Northside Bizarre

Get ready to unleash your inner mischief-maker at Melbourne’s most delightfully cheeky street celebration, returning to the iconic Abbotsford lanes for a day of playful revelry and community spirit! Hosted by Thorne Harbour Health and centered at The Laird & Masonic Hall, this event is all about bringing tribes together — with sausages, sizzling bears, and a whole lot of good vibes.

Expect a cavalcade of quirky activities that cater to every flavor of fun:

• VicBears BearBQ – where juicy sausages meet bear hugs (and maybe a little more)
• Masterbaker – the ultimate bake-off with a side of sass and sugar
• Dykes on Bikes – keeping things safe with sass (and probably some leather)
• Live auctions, demos, rubber pups – because who doesn’t love a little mystery and glitter?

Whether you’re a seasoned enthusiast or just dipping your toes into something delightfully different, this is the perfect playground for your inner rebel. And the best part? Every ticket ($0, by the way!) supports vital health services for our community via Thorne Harbour Health’s David Williams Fund.

“It’s a fundraiser, first and foremost – but also a day that brings so many of our tribes together. There’s simply nothing else like it,” – Cal Hawk, Thorne Harbour Health.

So lace up your boots, dust off your glitter, and join us for a day that’s equal parts mischief, magic, and meaningful impact. Let’s make it weird — and wonderful.
