Creating Spaces Where Joy is Contagious

Viral Happiness is a grassroots community collective based in Naarm/Melbourne, dedicated to transforming underutilized public spaces into vibrant gathering places that foster genuine human connection.

What started as small fire performances in local parks has grown into a movement of joy-seekers, artists, performers, and community builders who believe that happiness is meant to be shared.

We create inclusive, welcoming environments where strangers become friends, where creativity flourishes, and where the simple act of coming together becomes a celebration of life itself.
