Spacious Venue

Undoubtedly, the venue makes a huge difference when it comes to outdoor summer events. The focus of event-goers is finding a venue that takes the hassle out of the day, and provides everything they’re looking for on the day. For families, a safe & protected space for their kids with convenient parking may be the first port of call. Whereas, other festival lovers might prioritise a visually appealing space to soak up the attractions. Thankfully, Hello Sunshine takes place in a beloved venue in the eastern suburbs of Melbourne at the Caribbean Gardens. The Caribbean Gardens expansive space is the perfect location to host Hello Sunshine. With breathtaking scenery, it provides a beautiful and welcome ambience for Melbournians of all demographics.



Live Music

Melbourne as a city provides a proud and impressive history of world class live music events. Melbournians' admiration and passion for live music resonates throughout the city’s culture. In summer, live music comes into the sun. After all, live music is synonymous with summer events in Australia. With a stellar line-up and stand-out production, Hello Sunshine is hitting the Melbourne music scene with a bang.

With the accompaniment of live music, a food festival is a great way to discover local foods & drinks, supporting local communities, and local entrepreneurs, with world-class music in the air.

With the space and ambience the Caribbean Gardens offers, the food trucks at Hello Sunshine will be well placed to fill your rumbling belly’s.



Amusement Park Rides and Fireworks

Fun doesn’t have an age requirement. For most of us, the little kid we once were comes out when amusement park rides are on offer at summer festivals. Running during the day and night, you’ll have ample time to enjoy every ride at Hello Sunshine. But, don’t forget, after the sun sets, we’ve got a spectacular fireworks display to light up the night sky. Hello Sunshine is a one-day event in Melbourne with amusement park rides suitable for children and adults, captivating fireworks and much more. If amusement park rides don’t take your fancy, Hello Sunshine is also hosting an abundant collection of local markets on the day.
