Fed Square – The Heart of Melbourne

Melbourne’s meeting place

Fed Square sits at the very centre of Melbourne life. It’s where locals meet, visitors gather, and events unfold every day of the year.

It is home to major institutions, outdoor celebrations, and an ever-changing program of events that reflect Melbourne’s creative energy.

A place for art, culture and connection

Inside its precinct you’ll find ACMI, the Koorie Heritage Trust, and direct access to the National Gallery of Victoria just across St Kilda Road. From film festivals to live music and public art installations, the Square celebrates the city’s diversity and ideas. Visitors can enjoy open-air performances, markets, exhibitions, and major televised events on the Big Screen throughout the year.
