Winter is the perfect time to book a short break in Melbourne with its labyrinth of hidden laneways lined with boutique shops and European style cafes, and its choice of art galleries, museums, cultural and sporting events, and restaurants.
Melbourne has a well-earned reputation as the cultural and sporting capital of Australia, and this Winter is no exception. Melbourne will play host to a number of exciting sporting events, including the AFL Finals Series, commencing September 5 and culminating in the AFL Grand Final on September 27, a number of NRL games, and USA and Canada will battle it out in an exhibition Ice Hockey match in Melbourne on July 25.
There is also a whole range of cultural events taking place this Winter in Melbourne, including the Melbourne International Film Festival (July 31- August 17), Melbourne Writers Festival (August 21 - 31), and Melbourne Cabaret Festival (June 19 – July 6). Throughout August and September, major international artists are scheduled to perform in venues throughout Melbourne, including George Benson (August 21), Lady Gaga (August 23), Queen & Adam Lambert (August 29), Kanye West (September 9), Robbie Williams (September 16), and Justin Timberlake (September 18 & 19).
Reed Gift Fair, the biggest gift and homewares trade show in the Southern Hemisphere, will run from August 2 – 6, and the National 4X4 & Outdoors Show and Fishing & Boating Expo will return to the Melbourne Showgrounds from August 22 – 24.
