Well folks, it's that time of year again, when the rising mercury sends us outdoors en masse, pumping our concrete playground with an energy of revelry and renewal. The spirit of summer is a celebration of what it means to be alive. We rediscover our joie de vivre with sandy toes, burnished skin, BBQs by the beach, and one too many margaritas.

But with so much going on at this time of year it's hard to know where to begin, and what is supposed to be some well-deserved chill time can become a full-blown panic attack. So, what do you do when overwhelmed with options?

Welcome to the Concrete Playground Summer Guide, crafted in partnership with our friends at Old Mout Cider. It's a comprehensive shortlist of the best Melbourne has to offer over the next three months, from rooftop bars to outdoor dining and much more. With your printable PDF book in hand, you'll never be without access to the best of everything, because the year's too long and summer's too short to waste time on the mediocre.

Now slap on your invisible zinc and get out there, blue skies wait for no one (and don't we know it). Summer, we salute you.
