The Boxing Day Test Summer Fest is set to elevate the entertainment experience for the highly anticipated NRMA Insurance Border-Gavaskar series match at the iconic MCG between Australia and India.
The Indian inspired festival will be free and open to the public in the Yarra Park precinct across the first three days of the Boxing Day Test featuring live music, art installations, dance performances, food trucks and, of course, a big screen showing all the action from on the field.
In addition to celebrating Indian culture, the festival will feature local Victorian artists, food offerings, and family friendly activities throughout the precinct. There will be face painting, henna painting, photo booths, live cooking demonstrations, and plenty more to be announced!
