Just when you think summer is checking out at the departure gate, March sweeps into town with a packed calendar of festivities and many of our city’s biggest and best events.

There’s so much to see, so much to do.

Melbourne offers a ‘choose your own adventure’ to fun with festivals stretching from the  floral to the culinary, fashion to French, queer, comedic, Greek, Thai, sustainable and filmic.

There’s the glitz and glamour of the L’Oréal Melbourne Fashion Festival and the thrills and spills of the NAB Cup and the first AFL football matches for the season. There’s the hardcore adrenaline action of international Formula One car racing and a huge range of family-friendly activities.

Moomba, Melbourne’s largest community festival, makes a vibrant entrance with a music line-up and parade you won’t want to miss.

Whatever your interests you’ll find plenty of reasons to get out and about during Marvellous March.
