The City of Melbourne respectfully acknowledges the Traditional Owners of the land we govern, the Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung and Bunurong / Boon Wurrung peoples of the Kulin and pays respect to their Elders past and present. We acknowledge and honour the unbroken spiritual, cultural and political connection they have maintained to this unique place for more than 2000 generations.

We accept the invitation in the Uluru Statement from the Heart and are committed to walking together to build a better future.

Christmas Roller Rink

Get your skates on! Christmas has come to Carlton with a pop-up roller skating rink in Argyle Square.

Whether it's whole-family fun or a cute date night, roll around to classic tunes with free entry and $5 skate hire.

Piazza Italia also gets a Christmas makeover with a giant purple Christmas tree and decorations – the perfect place for a festive picnic sampling Lygon Street's famous fare. Plus enjoy free Italian tasty treats and gift voucher giveaways thanks to Carlton Inc.

This is a Christmas Festival event, presented by City of Melbourne with support from the Victorian Government.
