If there was any dispute as to Australia's leading events city, one only has to look at Melbourne in March to see how many first-class, world events are on.
Melbourne is proud of its reputation as Australia's sporting capital, but it also celebrates the best in design, food and wine, the great outdoors, music and the arts, fashion and film.
Says lord mayor Robert Doyle: "March is perfect for events in Melbourne. Good weather, Christmas is a memory, we've paid down some of that credit card debt and we know we are about to take a deep breath before winter. Look, other festivals would love to move to March - but there's no room!"
The Melbourne Food and Wine Festival includes signature events, gourmet adventures, value eats, longest lunch, free & ticketed masterclasses, workshops, food & wine galore, restaurants, activities and plenty more deliciousness.
Well, make room for the Melbourne International Comedy Festival which kicks off for another year in March. MICF has been part of March in Melbourne since Barry Humphries and Peter Cook launched it way back in 1987 at the Melbourne Town Hall.
* Greyhounds *
One of the world's big greyhound races, the Group 1 Australian Cup at the Meadows where the dishlickers dash over 525 metres for a $monster purse.
* Football *
OMG! The Footy is back in March. The world capital of A.F.L. Football is Melbourne and the footy heads long summer wait is over as a new season kicks off.
Festivals
* Moomba *
There is no bigger festival than the four day Moomba Festival with the crazy antics of the Birdman Rally held on the Sunday.
