Melbourne Event Guide

Hey,

I think this thread could work great for a lot of users on here.

People can just post anything of interest going on in Melbourne in the coming weeks/months.

Especially for people who have just arrived in Melbourne and looking for things to do.

Every Wednesday during the summer the Queen Vic markets are on and are definitely worth going to. Every Thursday during the summer the St Kilda night market is on and is also worth a visit.



This Saturday 28th Feb there's a tomato battle at Flemington!

The Birdman Rally is on on 8th March and would be fun to attend too.

I can't confirm names yet, as we are awaiting final confirmation, but I guarantee there are a couple of really big speakers.

Tickets will be $50 for members, $100 for non members, but will include food and drink.

I'll post up the guests once I get official confirmation
