Paris Olympics Pop-Ups at Melbourne Quarter

Overview

As the world ramps up for the latest edition of the world's largest sporting competition later this month, many of us are looking at our bank accounts and finding we're short a few bucks to afford the flights to Paris.

Fret not — you can grab a small slice of the Olympic action right here in Melbourne, all for free, at Melbourne Quarter. Never one to miss an opportunity for celebration, the inner city precinct is bringing Parisian delights on Thursday, August 1 and Wednesday, August 7.

Those delights start with an Olympic-inspired eclairs pop-up on August 1 from Glacé Desserts, where you can enjoy some creamy pastry treats in the flavours of raspberry, chocolate and caramel, matcha, coffee milk chocolate and passionfruit.

There's also a special offering on August 7, with chocolate-covered strawberries available with any purchase at a retailer in the precinct, so hold onto those receipts. Throughout the week, there'll be live music and game highlights broadcast live on the big screens.

Paris Olympic Popups will be taking place at Melbourne Quarter on Thursday, August 1 and Wednesday, August 7. Entry is free.
