What’s on around Canberra this weekend, 24-26 March
Autumn is finally stopping in to say hello to Canberra this weekend, 24-26 March.
With cooler weather and possible rain, CW recommends spending some time indoors – and there’s a heap of great events to choose from.
The National Film and Sound Archive celebrates queer storytelling in the Mardi Gras Film Festival, or if you prefer your queer history in the flesh, check out Holding The Man at ACT Hub.
The Canberra Comedy Festival wraps up this weekend with some great shows still available – on Saturday night, UC alumnus Wil Anderson takes over Canberra Theatre, then on Sunday, The Chaser‘s Andrew Hansen heads to ANU.
In the mood for something timeless? Dirty Jane’s hosts a Vintage Bike Exhibition and their first ever Pop-Up Market on Sunday in Fyshwick, while down the road in Kingston, the Canberra Fashion Market offers locals the chance to nab some second-hand bargains at the Fitters Workshop (beside the Old Bus Depot).
