Also on the cards, there’s heaps of free entertainment that’ll keep the whole family, including our four-legged friends, in high spirits.

This foodie extravaganza is brought to you by the team behind the iconic Adelaide Fringe arts and entertainment hub, Gluttony, and the beloved Lucky Dumpling Market that’s been tantalising taste buds on the Adelaide riverbank since 2017.
Elena Kirschbaum, the program director behind Downtown Dumpling Market, shared her excitement, saying, “we know Melburnians are passionate about their food, and they love a festival – almost as much as they love dumplings.” Preach.
Entry is free, so no need for reservations—just bring your appetite and your friends to what’s set to be Melbourne’s newest culinary sensation.
The Downtown Dumpling Market will head to Melbourne this spring from November 9 to November 26.
