Stop, Smoothie Time

The Pickers Union is pretty well known for the exorbitant and decadent peanut butter milkshake varieties dished up and devoured at the cafe, but this new addition is one a little kinder to your diet.

Your Almighty Burger Boss

There’s no such thing as one town having too many burger joints, that’s why we’re pretty keen on the soon to be new addition on Pakington Street, Boss Burger Co.

Cirque Africa

For the first time this month and next, Geelong gets to experience the wonder and talent that is Cirque Africa.

Cirque Africa

Been to Africa? Not a worry. Cirque Africa is the show from Africa that’s 100 per cent African, 100 per cent energy and 100 per cent fun.

Geelong Film Photographers

There’s a new rise of photography in Geelong. It’s new in all contexts, except the methods in which they use. The photography group, started by Ben Neoh in July this year, puts its focus on film photography – enabling the shooters to really connect with what they’re capturing.

Match Off

Remember the time you saw Alice playing croquet with flamingos in Alice in Wonderland and it looked oh so cool? Well, there’ll be no misusing animals in this match of croquet, and instead its paired with some incredible live music and food and beverage options.

A Little Bit of An African Circus

Winston Ruddle’s Cirque Africa is coming to Geelong and is bringing along a unique circus performance unlike any we’ve seen in the region. Think of what you’ve seen from Cirque du Soliel, throw in a bit of South Africa and a whole lot of creativity and you’ve pretty much hit the nail on the head.

A Market In Time For Christmas

A Race for the Spartans

All over the world there are so many different dishes, treats and flavours to indulge in, but tasting the real deal can be tricky without going there yourself.

The Big Design Market

Pretty things are nice. Pretty things all in the one room are even better. That’s why the Big Design Market is pretty darn amazing.

GPAC Season Launch

All year round the Geelong Performing Arts Centre, or GPAC as it’s affectionately known, offers a unique mix of theatre shows and events that educate, enlighten and bring together like-minded people.

Undertones

A few weeks ago KUBU Studio exploded into the Geelong arts scene promising a unique space that’s accepting of all people, no matter where you’re from or your story on how you got there.

The New Library Is Here

It’s been a little bit of a wait and there’s certainly a lot of excitement over the architectural wonder that is the new Geelong library and heritage centre, but as of last week, it’s officially open.

Strays on the Wall

Have you ever felt disconnected? As if every room you enter there’s nothing connecting you to the people within it? It’s something we’ve all felt at one point or another, and it’s something Daniel Longo will explore in his upcoming exhibition Enter As Strays at Courthouse Youth Arts.

Odyssey Film Festival

Applications are now open, so if you have an idea for the space and love showcasing incredible art, make sure you apply.

Our Furry Friends

Not all friends are on two legs, sometimes they’re on four and maybe even throw in a set of wings.
