The Hope Festival, hosted by Kitty Rescue Squad, is a vibrant celebration of Latin American culture that aims to inspire hope and unity. With live music, traditional dance, Latin cuisine and artisan stalls, the festival brings the rich Latin heritage to Melbourne while rallying support for animal welfare.
Led by a dedicated team, largely international student volunteers, the event creates a welcoming space for newcomers and locals to connect and celebrate together. Alongside the festivities, Kitty Rescue Squad will offer insights on responsible pet care, promoting their mission to support rescue cats in need.
The Hope Festival is supported by City of Melbourne and the Community Use of Town Halls program.
