Juni: An abbreviation of Gin’s signature botanical, juniper.
Palooza: A party, celebration or festival.
Junipalooza: Dozens and dozens of gin makers in one room, sharing their love for the spirit and serving up samples and stories for all to enjoy.
Junipalooza is a meet the maker festival. That means that either the distiller, founder or owner has to be there in person – we want you to be able to meet the people that put everything they have into the gins they make. We want you to be able to see their passion with your own eyes and gain some real context about the world of Gin.
New for 2023! We've listened to your feedback and decided to move the festival to the beautiful Melbourne Showgrounds in their Town Square Pavilion. This means easier transport links getting there and a more open room to roam around in. We hope you love it as much as we do!
