The Space2B Social Enterprise is once again holding The Laneway Festival at St. Kilda in celebration of the Cultural Diversity Week.

The festival will have:

- Makers Market + Music + Food, 10–3pm
Northside Projects, the creators of the much love Blenders Market in the City, brings you over 20 stalls of Australian designed products and beautiful gifts from local established and new migrant designers and artists. Come along, connect with vibrant artists, buy some beautiful products, eat food and listen to music from afar. Book a stall ($20, $30, $40).

Workshop – The Art of African Headwraps $15 10:30am–1pm
Embrace your inner queen and learn how to confidently wear a headwrap in a variety of styles with this workshop, hosted by Nehanda Yemaya Rusere and Watiri Boleyn. Feel free to bring your own scarf or scarves will be available and also on sale. You also have a chance to join in our Laneway Festival Dance.

- Live Music
Live performances from Përolas and Agobloco. Përolas is an electro-acoustic duo, featuring Liana on harp & vocals, and Fabian on guitar, trumpet, keyboard and live electronic beats. Përolas brings a strong sense of their cultural heritage to their music; infusing Indian, European and Latin American rhythms, melodies and scales. Inspired by the street Carnaval of Latin America, Agobloco is a marching band that presents the popular Marchinhas from the 1920s to the 1960s.

Art Exhibition - Spoken
Space2b & Ondru have created an evocative public mural 'Spoken' around Space2b. It takes the form of an engaging photographic mural, created by painting large montages of culturally diverse individuals and their evocative stories. The vision of the artwork is to celebrate cultural diversity and raise awareness about the journey, struggles and achievements of people from diverse backgrounds.

- Dance
Learn African, Indian and Brazilian dance steps with Nehanda, Varsha and Alba. You will use your new found steps to dance your way around the laneway to the beat of the live band. This event is free but be sure to book your place for your chosen dance.

- Face Painting and Henna Art, 10–3pm
Indian , Somali and Iraqi artists will offer beautiful face paintings and temporary Henna tattoos.
