World Bachata Festival Melbourne 2027

About this event

World Bachata Festival Melbourne 2027 returns to Box Hill Town Hall for a three-day, two-night dance weekend from June 25 to 28. Dancing begins at 8:30 PM on Friday and continues through workshops, performances and socials before the festival closes at 2:00 AM on Monday.

Bachata sits at the center of the weekend, alongside the festival’s established salsa and broader Latin-dance mix. International artists join local and international performers, while DJs keep the social floor moving between the workshop and show program.

A full pass costs A$230 and covers all performances, workshops and social dancing. The current 2027 program has not yet attached names to its teaching and DJ roles, so the pass is best suited to dancers comfortable booking the complete festival experience before the detailed lineup is released.

Drivers should follow the posted parking limits around Box Hill Town Hall, where council restrictions are enforced, and consider nearby public car parks. Box Hill station provides train and bus connections, while local tram service runs along Whitehorse Road for dancers using public transport.
