Queen Victoria Market

Prepare to enter the pearly gates of doughnut heaven, sweet Melburnians. Queen Victoria Market's free Donut Festival is returning for a special edition from November 1-2. Back by popular demand after a hugely successful event in May, Melbourne's most dough-licious creators and bakers are returning  with plenty more sugary delights that will have all your cravings satisfied. The lip-smacking line-up includes Jamm'd Dessert Bar with their hot Danish dougnuts; chewy mochi bites from Mochimelb; churro bowls with creamy vanilla ice cream from Churro Kitchen; deliciously sweet loukomades from St. Gerry's; and G-Free Donuts with tasty options for the gluten-free crowd. And for those of you who just love a classic ringed doughnut with a dusting of cinnamon, Walker's Doughnuts is bringing the goods.  This free weekend-long fest is all about indulging in everybody's favourite deep-fried treat, whether you like yours simple and iced or loaded with decadent toppings. There will also be live music, roving performers and circus acts to keep the sugar high going. The Donut Festival is happening from 9am to 4pm, so all you need to do is head to the C and D sheds (Peel Street end) with your mates and a will to indulge.  For more info, head to the Queen Vic Market website.
