Summer in Melbourne pretty much screams for a crisp, gin-infused tipple, enjoyed in the sunshine, overlooking some water. And once again, local gin festival Juniperlooza is setting you up for success. This time, for its 2021 edition, the festival is running for the entire sunny season — and taking over Pilgrim Bar on the Yarra River in the process.

The gin-soaked revelry will be in full swing between December 1, 2020–February 28, 2021, with a variety of boutique producers from both overseas and Australia showing off their wares. Keen? Currently thinking about all those G&Ts? It's a simple case of making a booking whenever suits you, heading by and getting stuck into your favourite gin drinks — with the change of format reflecting how different this year is.

Gin-thusiasts can make reservations in line with current restrictions — which are set to change again in mid-November, before Juniperlooza kicks off.
