Commencing in 2007 the Gertrude Street Projection Festival has grown to become  one of inner Melbourne’s most visible and accessible free large scale arts festival. The festival celebrates projection art and lets us see familiar spaces and buildings in new, inspired ways. It’s a collaborative, volunteer effort of artists and traders, residents and community groups all brought together by The Gertrude Projection Association.

For 10 evenings in July and in over 38 sites, the length of Gertrude Street in Fitzroy is illuminated by the visions of talented projections artists for the Gertrude Street Projection Festival. Buildings, laneways, footpaths and tree trunks light up with site-specific, curated projections. The Festival’s diverse arts program celebrates and connects our diverse community.

White Hat can thoroughly recommend the festival as a showcase of the edgy, arty inner suburbs. more info >>

At the Craft & Co's Summer Gin Market there will be 9 market stalls of Aussie distillers on show, where you can meet some of the makers in person and find out all about their products. White Hat expects a sell-out event, so so we suggest that if you are interested you secure a spot quickly.

As this is a sit-down event, the distillers will be moving table to table showcasing their products - speed-dating style. Just sit back, relax, and let the gin come to you!

At the conclusion of the session, market-goers are invited to stand up, mingle with the distillers and visit their bottle shop, where there will be exclusive specials and products not found elsewhere.

Tickets are $25pp to $40pp and include admission to your chosen session, free tastings and show bag
