Playbound!
Where play, nature, science and imagination ignite
Playbound returns in 2025, taking over the City of Melbourne these winter school holidays from 5 to 20 July. This 16-day extravaganza promises an array of fun-filled family-friendly performances, workshops, exhibitions, crafts and activities designed to inspire and educate children aged 0 to 12 through dynamic, outdoor and indoor play.
Be part of the festival
We invite organisations, community groups, parks, gardens, libraries and creative collectives located in the Melbourne CBD area to submit their program and event proposals for Playbound, a celebration of play, nature, science and imagination.
This year, we’re seeking engaging events, workshops, exhibitions and interactive experiences that spark curiosity, creativity and a love for learning in children aged 0 to 12 and their families. We believe in the power of play to foster creativity, the wonder of nature to inspire curiosity, and the excitement of science and imagination to create meaningful experiences.
