Melbourne Donut Festival
This fest is returning for another year with more doughnuts than you can imagine — from traditional baked treats to OTT creations beyond your wildest dreams.
Overview
There's no such thing as too many doughnuts. That's especially true when winter is setting in, and a sweet, fluffy, fried (or baked) hit (or three) is exactly what you need to get you through a cold day.
In excellent news for doughnut lovers, Melbourne Donut Festival is making a return to Queen Victoria Market for two delicious days. On Saturday, May 31, and Sunday, June 1, you'll be able to sample doughnuts from a bunch of makers from across the city.
If you've been before, you won't want to miss the bunch of stalwarts that are coming back. They include OMG! Decadent Donuts with their OTT creations, Jamm'd Dessert Bar which does doughnuts alongside cheesecakes and sundaes, and Big Bears where you'll find more than 150 flavours. Keep a look out, too, for Churro Kitchen, Pasta Face, G-Free Donuts, St. Gerry's and Shortstop.
Keen to try something new? A few newbies will be hitting the festival for the first time. Visit Walker's for baked doughnuts done traditional-style, and Crème Brûlée for what the name sounds like – a flame-brûléed treat filled with vanilla, berry or Nutella custard. Then there's Gotham, with its left-of-field flavours like Biscoff, Kit Kat and cookies-and cream.
In between snacking, visit the festival's four-metre-high inflatable doughnut and stop for a drink at the pop-up Milo Mocktail Bar.
