The delightful Melbourne Donut Festival is coming back to Queen Victoria Market for its sweet spring edition. This sugary and ‘hole’-some event will feature delicious donuts of all shapes and sizes, such as classic jam donuts, French crullers, mac and cheese-inspired donuts and more. You can also expect plenty of fun entertainment while you’re there. Round up your crew and fill in that hole in your stomach by heading to the Melbourne Donut Festival on Saturday October 17 and Sunday October 18.
Melbourne Donut Festival
At this free festival, you can look forward to 18 donut and dessert traders. New vendors include:
- All Day Donuts – this beloved donut shop in Brunswick is coming to the festival with their signature flavours.
- Mixed Bag – sip on donut-inspired drinks including their hot and iced Campfire Drinks, with flavours like jam/lemon curd and milk/white chocolate, along with handcrafted marhmallows.
- Numi Melbourne – try cream cheese-topped and original glazed cinnamon scrolls, along with drinks like Strawberry Collagen Matcha, Matcha Coconut Cloud and Lychee & Strawberry Mocktail.
You can also look forward to returning favourites like:
- Shortstop Coffee & Donuts – look forward to cake donuts, French crullers, yeast raised donuts and coffee.
- Crème Brûlée Donuts – these donuts are all ‘flame-brûléed’ with a custom iron, to create a crackly, caramelised shell. Inside, you’ll find either vanilla, Nutella or berry custard.
- Demochi Donuts – chew on Japanese-style mochi donuts, with flavours like cinnamon, matcha, strawberry, pandan and Biscoff.
- Pretzel Station – is it a donut? Is it a pretzel? Whatever it is, you can enjoy it with cinnamon, chocolate sprinkle, lamington or Raffaello.
- Jamm’d Dessert Bar – tuck into some hot Danish donuts, topped with pistachio or Biscoff.
- St. Gerry’s – feast on loukoumades, covered in syrup and a variety of toppings.
- Pasta Face – they will push the boundaries of what a donut can be with Mac N Cheese Croquettes Donuts, gnocchi donuts and a Donut Chicken Parma Slider.
Other returning favourites include Sweet Lokma, Gippsland Giant Donuts, OMG Decadent Donuts, Manny’s Doughnuts, Walker’s Doughnuts, Churro Kitchen and That’s Alotta Donuts.
When you’re not munching on donuts, sip on fun drinks, have fun with roving entertainment and take a photo with the large inflatable donut.
