Port Phillip Mussel Festival
White Hat can thoroughly recommend this vibrant seafood festival come
street party. Enjoy mussels and other seafood cooked in a wide variety of
ways all accompanied by one of Melbourne's best free jazz festivals. Street
vendors combine with the market's own restaurants to provide plenty of
variety from the cheap and cheerful through to chef-prepared restaurant
dishes. Sit in the sun with a cold sangria and a hot mussel paella or enjoy
a craft beer with wok cooked drunken mussels.

but other attractions grow year by year including:
- Live entertainment
- Kids activities
- Cooking demonstrations
- Art & Photo exhibitions
- Classic
car displays
- Food & Wine producers
- Products to try and buy
.. and
needless to say, plenty of mussels.

make this happen each year. Details at

Staged in the twin-towns of Echuca-Moama, Riverboats takes place under towering river red gums in a natural amphitheatre next to the mighty Murray. Historic paddlesteamers meander past

the best food trucks going round.
White Hat can recommend taking a 2.5 hour trip from
Melbourne to spend a weekend on the river for this annual celebration.
