RESEARRVTOSIFRESTIVAL
Welcome to True North – Reservoir’s
very own Arts Festival. Designed
to celebrate the unique cultural
identity of Reservoir, True North is a
festival showcasing this distinctive
multicultural area of Melbourne. We
want to bring people out of their
houses and into the streets, to have a
good time and talk about what makes
Reservoir special.
As the first professional arts festival
in Reservoir, we have developed an
exciting program of events to engage
the community and showcase some
of Melbourne, Darebin and
Reservoir’s best performers. So I
would like to take this opportunity to
invite you to be part of Reservoir’s
growing cultural landscape. You will
be amazed what you discover if you
head True North.
Cr Tim Laurence
Mayor City of Darebin
