Save the date for A Day in Carlton, Friday 14 - Saturday 15 November

Mark your calendars, A Day in Carlton is back for 2025. This year it’s even bigger and better! Block out Friday 14 and Saturday 15 November because you won't want to miss it! 

We're bringing you (just over) 24 hours packed full of literary goodness! Eavesdrop on conversations about friendships at LaMama; hear music and poetry at the Church of All Nations, celebrate food at CO.AS.IT; listen to storytellers and creators at The Carlton Courthouse; and indulge in romance in the aisles at Cinema Nova.

Carlton already holds many many lifetimes of stories: there are friendships formed here that have changed language, food, politics and death. We have curated this program to match every person's interest; from politics to football, to food to poets, to global affairs to walks in our history, to language and passion, to music and art. A Day in Carlton celebrates its past and its right now. 

We are starting the program off strong with a very special once off event on the evening of Thursday 13 November! Presented in partnership with The Wheeler Centre and UMAC, you are invited to hear Trent Dalton in conversation with Michael Williams as they discuss Gravity Let Me Go. Grab your tickets here.

Stay tuned for the full program announcement.
