This’ll put some spring into your Friday morning commute. City of Melbourne has announced FOMO Fridays, with a bunch of fun stuff starting Friday May 14 that will have you feeling good about just being in the office.
First things first: free doughnuts. You just have to stay tuned to @WhatsOnMelb on Instagram to get the location reveals. You could also win Friday night drinks, fancy foodie prizes, pre-loaded Myki cards and more.
Get a free manicure or hair style-up at Myer, or a free glass of sparkling white at the Strand and GPO. Have your cosmic fortune told and win instant prizes at QV Melbourne. Browse the night market at the District Docklands and get your haul home easily with 25 per cent off parking across town.
Head to Collins Square’s FOMO Lounge for a lunch break featuring cocktail-making workshops, trivia (with great prizes on offer), free food tastings, coffee experiences, and the chance to spin the FOMO Lounge wheel to win instant prizes.
Shops with special offers for FOMO Friday include H&M, Nique, Sunglass Hut and Muses of Mystery. Super food and drink deals are happening at the likes of Spice Market, Lui Bar, the Boatbuilders Yard and more than 40 more bars and restaurants across town. Cinemas and attractions are offering sweet discounts too (such as two-for-one tickets at Kino Cinema – bargain).
So, feeling like you don't even want to go home now? Ten luxury hotels are offering a free night’s accommodation when you book one night (conditions apply).
It's all happening over four Fridays, winding up on June 4. Staying in town to do fun stuff on a Friday is one of the things we missed during lockdown, so we definitely have some FOMO on this. Count us in.
