Port Phillip Mussel & Jazz Festival 2017
Spend the weekend making your way through five tonnes of molluscs.
Overview
Love mussels? Well, you're in luck, because March 11 and 12 sees the Port Phillip Mussel Festival return to South Melbourne Market. Feast on locally-sourced seafood with friends and family at this laidback, two-day seafood street party.
Now in its fourth year, the free celebration of the tasty sea creatures and local culture has developed a cult-like following. Top restaurants will be flexing their muscles throughout the weekend, including market eateries Claypots, Köy, Paco Y Lola and Simply Spanish. They'll all be dishing up mussels every which way, be it fried, in a Thai red curry or straight-up.
Dance away the early autumn afternoon — and your belly full of mussels — with the perfect mix of high quality, local wine, beer and cider, and a stellar line-up of Melbourne's best jazz bands.
