What's On in Boroondara...

As a Boroondara resident, I love to partake in the fabulous local events that are on offer. We Melburnians are so lucky that we don't have to travel far to find amazing art, culture and delicious food. 

Here's what is on over the next few weeks...

Kew Night Market
Local artisans and sellers will be showcasing their wares on Friday 29th July including jewellery and art. Also, the first 50 adults through the door will receive a free goodies bag! Find out more info here...

This is an all-day fiesta on Saturday 6th August in Camberwell which will be packed with plenty of activities including laneway pop-up parks, street food tastings, in-store promotions, a market family day, roving entertainment and fun for the children. I can't wait to see jazz band, Dr Jazz & The Gangsters Palace, at the After Dark Jazz Park at Evans Place. There will also be food and wine tastings at the After Dark Jazz Park from 6pm until 10pm.
