Welcome to this week's Melbourne events, exhibitions, sports and community guide for Tuesday to Monday, March 13 to 19, 2012.

This week... There's no end of culinary delights to be had with the Melbourne Food & Wine Festival joined by several other foodie events, including Wandin's Herb & Chilli Festival and Mordialloc by the Bay.

There's still a communal vibe to proceedings with community festivals held in Kew, Sunbury, Colac, Whittlesea and Yea, while in Geelong those of a Celtic bent can let their kilts swing free at Geelong's Highland Gathering.

Also in line with the Celtic theme, this year's St Patrick's Day falls on the weekend, so eager loyalists to Ireland or simply those fond of green beer can safely rest their blarney stones after a hard day's celebrating.

And in the midst of Mad March, the ongoing Melbourne BikeFest pedals out the big guns with its BikeFest BMX jam, while another festival that's winding down, Ventana Latina Fiesta in Frankston, proudly presents the Ventana Street Fiesta.

Lest We Regret..

Originally intended as a memorial arch that would span across St Kilda Road, it was also proposed at one point that the Shrine of Remembrance instead be a cenotaph in a large "ANZAC Square"at the top of Bourke Street.

As this would have also included demolishing one of Melbourne's oldest buildings, the Windsor Hotel, the 1927 ANZAC Day march was also held as a demonstration, led by General Sir John Monash, former commander of the Australian forces.
