C&G’s Top Four Things To Do This Queen’s Birthday Weekend

Chin, chin! It’s one’s ninety-first birthday! Here’s C&G’s guide to having a jolly good long Queen’s Birthday weekend in and around the Bayside region.

1. St Kilda Queen’s Birthday Block Party

It’s long weekend business as usual for Secret Garden Bar in St Kilda, who will be hosting their standard Block Party – except this one is set to be bigger than ever. Marking the last long weekend until Grand Final weekend (*sobs*), it’s a Sunday funday party from midday until the early hours. Book a ticket or go all out with a hired cabana.

2. World Gin Day

This year’s World Gin Day falls on Saturday 10 June, coinciding perfectly with the Queen’s Birthday long weekend. Celebrate the Queen of spirits at a larger venue like Southbank’s Waterslide Bar, or go it alone at one of Bayside’s fave watering holes. The intimacy of Treehouse Lounge in Balaclava makes for the perfect date night, or go beachside at Port Melbourne’s Mr Lawrence.

3. Corgi Spotting

Did you know Brighton dog beach is a corgi hot spot? Head down for a long weekend walk, while keeping your eyes peeled for the oh-so-regal short-legged little fellas that the Queen so adores. You’ll feel like you’re hanging out at Buckingham Palace. But with sand.

4. Mind Body and Spirit Festival

Melbourne’s celebration of all things wellbeing returns to the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre this Queen’s birthday long weekend. Over four days enjoy psychic readings, meditation sessions, healthy living advice, nourishing cooking classes and a whole lot more inspiration to live a happy, healthy life.
