…The OutInCanberra Mother’s Day Dining Guide

A Celebration of Wool is in its fifteenth year at the Old Bus Depot Markets – a spectacular event. Canberra is in the middle of a wool growing area, and to see what artists and business people with big ideas do with wool is fascinating.

Craftspeople who work with wool come from NSW, Victoria, and South Australia to participate in this showcase of top quality Australian made wool products, many made on their own properties.

As I climb the stairs to dance music heaven, the walls of the Australian Institute of Sport (AIS) are already shaking. It’s early in the day, but Warehouse Winter Musical Festival is heating up.

In its third year, Kick’s Entertainment has managed to attract the masses, with a string of impressive dance, electro and funk acts, both international and home-grown.

The AIS has allowed a full scale takeover, being divided into three main stages – the Arena, Club and Terrace stage. Each stage holds a different atmosphere, but all present heavy hitting, heart-stopping beats.

Canberra’s ever-successful quarterly up-market – The Handmade Market has gone boutique. No, this does not mean the end of our beloved seasonal market fix, but it does mean that you can now enjoy the same fabulous locally handmade goods all year round.

The shop is adorned in beautiful pieces; art, accessories, clothing, toys and more. You’ll also notice a few of Canberra’s designer names including; Andi, Millicent Russel, Tango & James Nest and more.

The OutInCanberra People’s Choice Awards were officially launched today in Garema Square, with Minister for Tourism, Andrew Barr MLA and Canberra’s hospitality industry in tow.

The pursuit is now on for Canberra’s favourite venues – with ‘Favourite Café’ added to the long-standing categories ‘Favourite Restaurant’ and ‘Favourite Nightlife Venue.’

Barr announced voting open and cast his own vote in the OutInCanberra voting booth.
