MELBOURNE | Tuesday 2nd July to Monday 8th July 2013
This week, along with the ongoing Melbourne Cabaret Festival, for those after something a little less racy there's the Newport Folk Festival offering a weekend of performances and workshops for people of all ages.
At Fitzroy Town Hall there's the Festival of Tibet celebrating art, music food and much more, while culture of the Pop variety gets a grand nod with Oz Comic-Con featuring special guest, the one and only William Shatner.
And for film-buffs who like it local and proud, there's the premiere of the Melbourne-made film, Crawlspace, screening for one night only.
Have a great week in Melbourne!
