Ventana Fiesta is Frankston’s annual festival celebrating Latin American, Portuguese and Spanish cultures.

Ventana has something for one and all – bilingual story times for the little ones; street art workshops for the youngsters; a cooking workshop for seniors; and concerts, exhibitions, movies and murga workshops for everybody.

And if this wasn’t enough, there’s the Ventana Street Fiesta, a vibrant and lively street festival with an authentic South American murga carnival, ethnic street food, traditional craft stalls, children’s activities, live music and dance.  It’s in Wells St from noon-8pm on Saturday, March 11, and it’s free.

To get a taste of Ventana, attend the free official opening of the festival at Cube 37 on Friday, February 24, at 7pm. The evening will include a tour of the exhibitions that mark the journey of the vihuela (the guitar’s predecessor) and entertainment by Murga Madre, who will be featured in the Street Fiesta carnival parade.  RSVP to 9784 1060, and visit www.ventanafrankston.com.au for more details on all the events happening during this month-long festival.
