Open House Weekend Update

The weekend is finally here! Whether you’re venturing out in a group, with your family or solo, there is plenty to see and do over this weekend. Make sure you are prepared for all types of weather, wear comfortable shoes and don’t forget to pick up a printed program for $8 to show your support for Open House Melbourne. The easiest way to get around this weekend will be to hop on a tram or jump on a Melbourne Bike Share Bike. Leave the car at home!

Don’t forget to look out for Jake the TRAMTRACKER® Dog, and the Dulux Dogs. Also keep your eye on social media as well as Open House activities on the streets to win some great prizes
