Artists and musicians took over sections of Melvilles 7th Street and 4th Avenue for the third annual The Happening grassroots arts and culture festival at the weekend.
The streets were closed to vehicle traffic and became canvases for artists who created works directly on the road, while local musicians, dancers and singers took turns showing their talent.
The event offered a much-needed sense of relief and togetherness for residents of the suburb and nearby areas, who have been grappling with severe water shortages in recent months.
