Despite being the Central Business District (CBD), inner Melbourne City is a thriving cultural hub day to night, weekdays and weekends. With a gridded street system it’s easy to explore the laneways that house Melbourne’s best galleries, eateries, bars & boutiques. The repurposing of spaces by Melbourne creatives drives an exciting energy that runs through this ever evolving city.
MPavilion is an outdoor meeting place that sees a unique temporary pavilion designed each year for four years over Melbourne's spring and summer months. Designed as a connective hub, it regularly hosts talks, workshops, performances and installations. Located in beautiful garden surrounds it’s a great place to see an event, meet up with friends (or find new ones!), rest on the grass and watch either the city skyline at dusk or ducks passing by. Open every day from October to February, a kiosk runs coffee and lunch during the day and drinks from 4pm onwards during the range of free curated events.
