Did you know that Frankston’s Street Art Walking Tours have been awarded Australia’s Best Street Art Walking Tour for three consecutive years? In 2024, they were again named Australia's Best Street Art Tour and Frankston was the first destination EVER to enter the Hall of Fame in the awards!

A celebration of the City’s best street art, The Block Party is a laneway takeover event that promises a night of colour, movement, music and so much fun.
See artists creating their iconic artworks, dance along with a stellar line-up of live music, be mesmerised by street performers or just pull up a deck chair, grab a drink and something to eat as you watch the projection art and soak it all in with your mates.
However you choose to get involved, you don’t want to miss out on being a part of Frankston’s colourful transformation.
In 2024, The Block Party will be in Park Lane and will include performances by Gut Health, Bananagun, Milku, plus Tamara and The Dreams and DJ Obliveus. See the full stage line-up and schedule below.

There's plenty of opportunity to stop and take it all in.
