2. Christmas Day BYO Picnic Lunch

Even if you do not normally celebrate this religious occasion, it is still nice to have 'something to do' on Christmas Day.

4. Beyond the Valley 2018

They will construct a spectacular 60-metre wide main stage.

5. Adventure Park Summer Nights

Ride all the awesome water rides, action rides, family rides they're famous for and watch kids movies on the outdoor cinema while chilling to live entertainment.

6. South of the Border No. 2

South Of The Border showcases performers who all live south of the Yarra (sorry, northsiders).

7. Christmas 4 Course Lunch at Melbourne Zoo

The dining event will take place at midday and will be presented in a private event space that features views of either its own animal enclosure (the tamarin monkeys or tree kangaroo) or picturesque views across the Japanese Gardens and Lake.
