There's always something happening in this fair city of ours, so don't let the week pass you by without popping a few fun events into your social calendar. To help you plan, we've rounded up all the best activities happening this week, so all you have to do is scroll, pick and embark on your adventure.
Mix up your mid-week routine with a visit to the Queen Victoria Night Market and enjoy live music, open fires and delicious warming treats (think bowls of piping-hot laksa and gooey raclette cheese). To celebrate the Boy Who Lived, Harry Potter: The Exhibition is offering witches, wizards and muggles $11 tickets on July 31 in honour of Harry's birthday. For a different kind of Potter, head to the newly reopened Potter Museum of Art to check out 65,000 Years: A Short History of Australian Art – a spectacular and diverese showcase of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander creativity.
