Before he left Melbourne, Kris spent 2000 and 2001 as the Producer of the Lygon Street Festa, which is Australia's largest street event.

Celebrating the rich diversity of Italo-Australian culture, the Festa would take place over eight city blocks, with all traffic diverted and stages at each intersection and in the garden. It is a serious party atmosphere, with over 400,000 attendees, 1500 staff and artists, eight stages, and loads of activity. An enjoyable nightmare to budget, schedule, market, program and produce.

"Kris Stewart recently produced a concert for the city that was breathtaking in both scope and concept. He has a rare ability to be both creative and organized. His negotiating skills, his adherence to and control of budgets, his rapport with the cast and musicians was exemplary (.) His other assets include a calm nature, strong confidence in everything he does and a commanding presence in an affable way which endears him to all who work with him. I thoroughly recommend Kris to any management wishing to work with such an outstanding talent. They will reap rich rewards." -- CLAUDE ULLIN, Mayor of the City of Stonnington
