German Week

  • Film
  • Theatre

Welcome to the German side of Melbourne.

From 19 October to 1 November, Melbourne gets a little more German. Two weeks of culture, art, food, business and plenty to see, taste and do across the city.

Whether you’re German, love German culture, or you're simply curious, German Week is for you.

The program's a mixed bag on purpose: from opera night to foosball tournaments, gallery tours to fresh pretzels, there's something for everyone, and probably a few things you didn't expect.

Explore the events and discover a bit of Germany.
