The ultimate pickleball festival is coming to Melbourne, in various pop-up courts and activation zones across the city.
Picklepalooza is a three-day celebration of pickleball, community, and culture, all wrapped up in a free, family-friendly festival. This is your chance to play, learn, connect and experience something new.
Learn the basics or level up your skills with expert instructors at free pickleball clinics. Jump into casual games or test your talent in featured challenges at social and competitive matches. Plus explore giveaways, merch, games, and interactive installations.
Picklepalooza is more than just a sports event — it’s a growing movement that connects people through fun, fitness, and community spirit.
No bookings required for general entry, but free registration is required to turn up, grab a paddle and get playing.
Supported by the City of Melbourne.
