2. Live Music: Robbie Mann Plays Stride Piano at Polit Bar
Friday from 7.00pm
Stride piano was the infancy of jazz piano, born of ragtime and nurtured within the debauchery of burlesque houses, brothels and bars. The pianist acts as a veritable one-man-band, encompassing the entire rhythm section in the left hand.
Pop up to Polit Bar for a luxe, prohibition-era cocktail with friends, and ease into the weekend with the lovely sounds from Robbie Mann.

3. Truffle Festival all across Canberra
All weekend
The massive eight weeks of Truffle Festival kicked off last weekend. Restaurants all across Canberra are conjuring up magical meals featuring the regions’ most famous fungus.
It’s not all just sitting down and eating, though (although that part is very good). There are truffle hunts, cooking demonstrations and plenty of other events to experience this delicious treat. Why not do a hunt followed by dinner at one of the amazing restaurants involved? Frugii are also doing a delicious Truffle Icecream, read all about our taste test here.
