No plans? Looking for things to do this weekend? We've got you sorted with this curated guide to all the best on around Melbourne.
It's the last official month of summer (how has it gone so fast?!), and Melbourne's sizzling calendar of events remains red-hot. And lucky for you, we've rounded up all the best things to see, eat, drink and do in this short-but-sweet month.
Do you have a craving for something sweet? The annual Ice Cream Festival is back for 12 days of deliciousness. There will be 30 limited-edition flavours to try, including cinnamon scroll and coconut limoncello margarita – yum! After something a bit more fizzy? Don't miss the Prosecco Festival, where you can try sparkling wine by more than 50 brands.
Midsumma Festival is finishing up with the Pride Street Party – an all-day event featuring art, live music, performances and heaps more. St Kilda Festival returns with a cracking line-up of musical talent – think Jessica Mauboy, Sneaky Sound System and Barkaa – and best of all, it's free! For more culture, check out MTC's My Brilliant Career, Malthouse's Black Light or the Melbourne Art Fair.
And it's your last chance to spend an unforgettable evening out on the savannah with Werribee Zoo's Sunset Safari wrapping up on February 21. The kids will also love Balloon Story, a colourful new exhibition packed with 500,000 balloons.
And while the weather's still warm, don't miss you chance to visit the city's beaches, secret swimming spots or outdoor pools. Plus, be sure to load up on ice cream and fish and chips, or just grab a meal at a beautiful beachside restaurant.
