East Melbourne Library 20th Birthday

Celebrate 20 years of East Melbourne Library and Community Centre at a free community birthday event bringing neighbours, families and library visitors together for music, food, activities and local history. The program includes live jazz from Dan Witton & Co, a free barbecue, face painting, children’s crafts and giant games. Visitors can also join gardening workshops and seed-saving sessions, take a library tour, and look back at the library’s history. A birthday cake cutting will mark two decades of learning, connection and community at the centre. The celebration takes place on Saturday 22 August 2026 from 10am to 2pm at East Melbourne Library and Community Centre, 122 George Street, East Melbourne. Entry is free and no booking is required. The mix of music, children’s activities, workshops and tours makes this a family-friendly community event. Specific accessibility features are not detailed on the official event page.
