Donut Festival 2024
This annual homage to the world's favourite holey treat has gotten a whole lot bigger.
Overview
If you go nuts for doughnuts, there's only one place to pop on your itinerary for Saturday, June 1 and Sunday, June 2: Queen Victoria Market, which is throwing a weekend-long celebration dedicated to the world's favourite holey treat.
Returning for a huge 2024 edition, the Donut Festival is set to showcase a multicultural array of doughnuts and other closely-related sweet treats, from old-school US-style dough balls oozing hot jam, to choc-centred morsels and sugar-coated churros.
There'll be plenty of vegan and gluten-free goodies among the lineup, which comes courtesy of traders like Daniel's Donuts (glazed creations in flavours like Golden Gaytime), St Gerry's (syrupy Greek loukoumades), MochiMelb (hand-made mochi doughnuts) and Shortstop (think brown butter and maple walnut, or honey with sea salt). These are among some of the best doughnuts in Melbourne — all found in one place.
Of course, QVM's iconic American Doughnut Kitchen will also be on hand, slinging its famed sugar-coated, jammy creations, along with house-made jam by the jar. And if you're looking for a decadent drinks pairing, check out the pop-up Spiced Milo Mocktail Bar where you can nab a delightfully sweet bev.
Of course, you get to enjoy all of that while feasting your ears on live tunes and roving performances.
