Port Phillip Mussel Festival
Five tonnes of local mussels, sangria, craft beer and New Orleans-style jazz — now that's a street party.
Overview
After a successful launch in 2014, the Port Phillips Mussel Festival is back for a tasty, tasty second year. The streets of South Melbourne will come alive with music (including an Elvis impersonator, if you're into the King), seriously good food and drink and, of course, an abundance of mussels.
Joining the party are some of the region's top chefs and restaurants, including St Ali, Mr Lawrence at the London, Dandelion and Acland Street Cantina. All the South Melbourne Market restaurants will be there too, with Claypots Evening Star, Paco y Lola, Köy and Simply Spanish getting creative with their regular menus for the event.
So if you're any smidge of a foodie, or are simply keen to treat your tastebuds to a royal feast, get down to the South Melbourne Market and sample mussel paella, wok-cooked drunken mussels, artisanal ice cream, Gerry's doughnuts, and a real good time.
