Welcome to this week's Melbourne events, exhibitions, sports and community guide for Tuesday to Monday November 9 to 15, 2010.

This week... it's a veritable smorgasbord of culture with the proverbial melting pot that's Melbourne overflowing with events such as the ever popular Greek Thessaloniki Festival celebrating one of many Melbourne's sister-cities.
