DesignFest 2026

DesignFest is back. Once a year, South Melbourne's design and architecture precinct opens its doors for one big night of ideas, inspiration and celebration.

From 3pm, wander between 15 showrooms across the South Melbourne Design District for a program of talks from some of the industry's best. Speaker lineup to be announced.

From 7pm, head to Miele's newly renovated Experience Centre for the after party. Grab a drink, catch up with the design community, and stick around for the prize draw at 8pm.

Whether you're a designer, architect, renovator or just love good design, DesignFest is the one night a year the whole precinct comes together.
