It was my first Mooomba, since it has been moved to St Kilda Road. I strongly believe Channel 7 could do more coverage on this very important event... It only comes around once a year... Thank you!!!!!!

Hi Im quite new to Melbourne and was really impressed with the Moomba festival! Great day out! Im getting involved in organising a festival in my home town and was wondering if I could get in contact with some of the committee members to pick their brains please? :)

Can anyone please tell me what time the rides open in the morning? Thank you.

We attend with children and arrive early to get a good spot and wait patiently. My daughter is also in the parade so its important to us to have a good view and take photos only to have the last minute arrivals push their children forward in front of us. Perhaps respect by all is required.

Didn't like the new route. The parade was too short and not the same atmosphere as in the city. Great to hear that numbers were up but I doubt that was because of the new route! I agree with other contributor about getting a good spot. And no nearby restaurants on St Kilda Rd like there on Swanston St. Come on Melbourne we can do better..
