What’re your plans for the December holidays? I know they’re still a little while away, but I’ve decided to make this my last 5 Things post for the year as things are already starting to get hectic around here.

So here we go – this last one for 2017 is a good one, with the best food and shopping event, salty markets, handmade markets and winery markets, a chance to learn how to make macarons, a classy concert in the city, and a night of big laughs.

It’s that crazy time of year – I bet your calendar is getting booked up, but make sure you fit some of these fun things in among the family events and work lunches. It’s only fitting as we head towards Christmas that there’s tonnes of eating and drinking to be done, but I’ve also lined up some incredible markets, a moving play about friendship and vampires, a chance to get among all things cruelty-free, and a summer street party.

Dogs! Wine! Vintage goodness! Yep this week there really is something for everyone, whether you want to take a road trip down south for one of my favourite events of the year, or roll up to the foreshore and have the best of the south west region brought to you. Chuck in one of the first outdoor movies of the season and a fabulous brunch with drag queens, and this weekend is looking pretty damn impressive!
