A three-day family festival will be held at Yarra Park while the Boxing Day Test takes place inside the MCG.
To match the excitement inside the ground, Yarra Park will be filled with family friendly activities for the first three days of the Boxing Day Test match, helping celebrate the rich connection between India and Victoria, with a focus on food, music, art, cricket and community.
The Summer Festival will be free to attend and will feature live music, Bollywood dance performances, celebrity chef demonstrations, food trucks and pitches for pop-up cricket games and each morning experts will provide a preview of the day’s play and big screens will show all the action from inside the ground throughout the day.
The Boxing Day Test will be bigger and better than ever with a Summer Festival in Yarra Park before history is made in January with the Women’s Ashes Test between Australia and England.
The last time India travelled to Australia for a Test series with full capacity available at the MCG was in 2018 when more than 176,000 fans attended.
