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.

Picklepalooza is more than just a sports event — it’s a growing movement that connects people through fun, fitness, and community spirit.
