Riverside Opening of the Melbourne Food and Wine Festival in the Docklands

It's all over the papers, the internet and twitter! So unless you have been living under a rock, you will know that the Melbourne Food and Wine Festival starts this week. The festival is actually celebrating its 20 years of existence in 2012 with "20 days of eating and drinking".

Riverside Opening Weekend, 3-4 March

Here at LooknBook, we have been raving about it to everyone as this is a chance for our beloved Docklands to be in the forefront. A wonderful program has been developed for this occasion.

Jazz Festival at Yarra's Edge
The festivities start with a Jazz Festival at Yarra's Edge this Saturday 3rd of March  featuring 8 of the best bands from Melbourne Secondary Schools to perform at Yarra’s Edge in Docklands over the 2 days. I've heard we have some good acts so make sure you don't miss it!


Travel on the Yarra in the FREE River Shuttle

Another interesting initiative - you will be able to travel up and down the Yarra River in water taxis during the Riverside Opening weekend. How much does it cost? Well, how about zero dollars? To access the FREE river shuttle, all you have to do is print this passport and make sure you have it on you on the day.

You can also read more about the river shuttle here.

For those who don't know the Docklands very well, this is your chance to try something new. There are many culinary delights to be discovered and we guarantee you will love what you will see and taste.
