Alright the long weekend is over and has officially been done and dusted. However, that doesn’t mean you need to stay at home and do nothing! If we know Melbournians, it’s that we like to party and party we shall.
Prepare for Live Blues, a brownies festival, Mario Kart Racing and more.
Mushroom Mario Kart Racing
Secret Location
Not content with causing a stir in the streets of Tokyo, a real life version of Mario Kart is heading to Melbourne!
Now is the time to dress up as your favourite character, drive go-karts and collect stars to win prizes. Organisers have called it the “rally of a lifetime” but really, it’s themed go karting in dress up. Still invokes the nostalgia of our childhood years however *sigh*.
Tickets are $85 and include your drive time, costume hire, a snack and transport to and from the CBD. The location of the race remains a secret until you arrive but the pick-up point is in Flinders Street.
So what are you waiting for? Get your tickets faster than Bowser can rev his engine.

Free Yoga Classes @ ‘I Am That’ Yoga Studio’s Open Day

Ever thought about dabbling in yoga but have no idea where to start? Well, the I Am That yoga studio in Collingwood is here to make it easier with their open yoga day.
