How we reported this

If you’re looking for something to do this weekend in Broadmeadows, you’ve got options. Eventbrite lists concerts, nightlife, seasonal events, food and drink tastings, and live entertainment as the best weekend activities in the area [1]. The good news? Many of them won’t cost a thing.

Major Venues, Major Events
Broadmeadows Town Hall remains a centrepiece for community events. It hosts major gatherings such as the 2025 Victorian Interfaith Festival and the NAIDOC Week Celebration 2025 [4]. Those events have already taken place, but the Town Hall continues to be a key weekend venue for community activities, local government conferences, and interfaith festivals [5].
Beyond the Town Hall, smaller community venues are buzzing. Fawkner Neighbourhood House, Glenroy Community Hub, and Banksia Gardens offer recurring activities including walking groups, playgroups, and trivia nights [5]. These places are the backbone of the local social scene, giving residents low-cost ways to connect.
Hume Library Broadmeadows and Banksia Gardens Community Services also run community programs like playgroups, walking groups, and homework support [3]. For families, options include Cook & Connect playgroups for children under four, T-shirt block printing workshops, and even dog vaccination events at Valley Park Community Centre [2].
Seasonal Surprises and Tech Meetups
For those who like something a little different, seasonal events are on offer. They include edible weeds walks at Mulberry Community Garden and historic cemetery tours as part of the Seniors Festival 2025 [2]. Weekend attractions also include Woodlands Historic Park walking loops and visits to the Broadmeadows Museum+ for historic cemetery tours [3].
If you’re in tech, mark your calendar for Tuesday, August 18, at 10:00 AM. An 'Able Meet - MELBOURNE NORTH' tech event is scheduled at The Meadows Conference and Events Centre in Broadmeadows [4]. It’s part of the Melbourne North tech meetup circuit, with the venue hosting regular in-person events [4]. Major Melbourne tech communities, including the Melbourne Cloud Computing Meetup (1,400 members) and the UX Design Group of Melbourne, also hold events in the area [4]. Silicon Beach Australia, a large national meetup community with 13,000+ members in Melbourne, hosts monthly pitch nights and founder events [4].
Humanitix and Eventbrite both maintain up-to-date listings for concerts, nightlife, food and drink tastings, and live entertainment [1][3]. Free community events this weekend include live music, cultural activities, seasonal gatherings, and community meetups [2].
