Time Out says

Prepare to enter the pearly gates of doughnut heaven, sweet Melburnians. Queen Victoria Market's free Donut Festival is making its delicious return on June 13 and 14.

Back by popular demand, Melbourne's most dough-licious creators and bakers are returning in 2026, with new faces and plenty more sugary delights that will have all your cravings satisfied.

The lip-smacking line-up includes Jamm'd Dessert Bar with their hot Danish dougnuts; chewy mochi bites from Mochimelb; deliciously sweet loukomades from St. Gerry's; nama-style bites from Kare Melbourne; and G-Free Donuts with tasty options for the gluten-free crowd.

And for those of you who love to push the boundaries of what a doughnut can be, Pasta Face is delivering the goods with a hot honey chicken parma version; the Puff Puff Stand are offering West African-inspired puff puffs; and Mr Zeppole is serving up Italian zeppole with the choice of jam or anchovy fillings. 

This free weekend-long fest is all about indulging in everybody's favourite deep-fried treat, whether you like yours simple and iced or loaded with decadent toppings. There will also be  roving performers, live entertainment, plenty of coffee and fun activations to keep the sugar high going.

The Donut Festival is happening from 9am to 4pm, so all you need to do is head to the C and D sheds (Peel Street end) with your mates and a will to indulge.
