Welcome back weekend!
Before you start packing your bags for next weekend’s ‘long one’, we’ve still got this one to enjoy.
There’s lots of fun to be had in the ACT, so strap yourselves in for all the action across Canberra in the coming days.
Enjoy!

Oh, and a grown-up-sized jumping castle? It doesn’t get much happier than that!
3. Canberra Craft Beer and Cider Festival at Mercure Canberra

There’s nothing like a good brew on a weekend. This year, the CCBCF is even bigger and better, bringing a great collection of beer and cider brewers to the beautiful gardens of the old Ainslie Hotel.

4. Tocumwal Lane Party in the city.
Off Bunda Street (behind Blades)
Sunday 11.00am – 4.00pm
It’s one part of the city tis long overdue for some TLC. Finally the team from Canberra CBD (Skate in the City) have linked with Graffik Paint (every cool wall in Canberra) to put on a day where our best street artists combine to give Tocumwal Lane a makeover.
There’s be DJs, food and drink from London Burgers and Beers and Beach Burrito, as well as the chance for everyone to have a go on the canvases hanging throughout the space.
Brilliant!
5. Jeff Martin at Transit Bar
8.00pm Sunday
There’s simply no confusing the amazing deep voice of Jeff Martin (The Tea Party). While his Canadian band was revered through the 90s and into the 00s, he’s stepped into a sterling solo career over the last ten years and released a number of albums under different guises.
Expect a beautiful acoustic show at Transit this Sunday that will take you to a happy, happy place. What a way to end the weekend?
Have fun, y’all…
