Jubilant campaigners who fought the scuttled East-West Link took to the streets of Fitzroy on Saturday to celebrate the controversial project's demise.

Hundreds of revellers joined the 'Victory Street Party' on the corner of Westgarth and Brunswick Streets to commemorate the community win.

Local residents celebrate the demise of plans to build the East-West Link.

Protest organiser Anthony Main said the 18-month grassroots campaign showed what could be achieved when people came together for a common cause.

"We took on this fight on a wing and a prayer," he said.
