What's free in Melbourne this month

Luke Jerram's striking 'Gaia' installation is set to levitate in St Paul's Cathedral for over two months. Rotating once every four minutes, the artwork was created using images of the earth’s surface from NASA. Enter the cathedral during visiting hours to witness the 7-metre-wide sensation in all its glowing glory.

Find the city's best locally made buys at the limited run 'Craft* Wrk' pop-up market. Curated by the team behind the Rose St. Artists’ Market, you'll be able to find indie designers, local makers, creative artists and more under the iconic Queen Vic Market sheds. Better yet, entry is free!

Round out the month with another epic foodie festival at the Queen Vic Market. Try dishes from Ghana, South Africa, Senegal and Ethiopia. Bop along to the tune of traditional drummers and bring your little mates along for free kids activities.

Is that France or Melbourne? Claire Ropartz's photography exhibition captures the artisans and architecture of the Paris End of Melbourne. Take a peek inside the iconic local businesses around Collins Place and Flinders Lane. The exhibit stays open late for artsy night owls to peruse.
