Travellers Are Invited to Melbourne's Lavish Events Season

In March, Melbourne once again invites tourists to its spectacular events season, which features a broad range of performances by renowned artists from across the world.

This year's highlights include both the Formula 1® Australian Grand Prix (March 30-April 2) and the world-famous Melbourne Food & Wine Festival (March 24-29).

While Melbourne's reputation for thrilling events all year round, the city's busiest gatherings season, affectionately dubbed as "Mad March" and "Fantastic April" by locals, comprises some of the city's biggest and most recognised events.

Australia's biggest free community festival, Moomba, starts off the season of major celebrations that also include the PayPal Melbourne Fashion Festival and the Melbourne International Comedy Festival. With the finest events calendar in Australia, this year's Crazy March and Fantastic April are sure to be massive in Victoria.

A highlight of the Melbourne Food & Wine Festival is the "World's Longest Lunch," a spectacular tasting menu from a renowned chef, presented on a 2,000-foot table in Melbourne's Treasury Gardens. During the course of 10 days, attendees may participate in a variety of workshops, tastings, and master classes led by some of the world's best chefs and food experts, many of whom have Michelin stars to their names.

The "Signature Chef Series" at this year's festival will allow attendees to learn from some of the world's greatest chefs, including Curtis Stone, a native of Melbourne, and Chef Danny Bowien, whose innovative take on Chinese cuisine at Mission Chinese Cuisine has gained widespread acclaim. Alternately, "Crawl and Bite" trips will introduce you to Melbourne's real food culture. These excursions show off the wide variety of Melbourne's culinary offerings by taking guests to different spots for snacks and beverages.

Visitors may get a taste of Victoria's native cuisine, art scene, and culture at these special events. A record number of festivals, concerts, and other special workshops and entertainment activities will be held in the Australian state all year round.
