Summer Gin Fling

Overview

If anything's going to help kick off your last month of summer in style, it's a few crisp gins, quaffed beneath the sun in one of Melbourne's newest CBD beer gardens. And that's exactly the situation you're in for when Melbourne favourite Gin Palace descends on new openair haunt Park Melbourne for the inaugural Summer Gin Fling.

This three-day mini-fest is set to serve up a thirst-quenching celebration of local gin, from Friday, February 7, to Sunday, February 9. And with Gin Palace's expert curators at the helm, you know to expect a pretty banging booze lineup. Plus, entry is free.

You'll have the chance to sip signature serves from the likes of Melbourne Gin Company, Poor Toms, Great Ocean Road Gin, Bathtub Gin Co. and Four Pillars, while artists spin tunes from within Park's glasshouse DJ booth (6–10pm nightly). The venue's latest collection of art installations will also be on show, including a work titled Bathtub created by Gin Palace itself.
