HALLO! G'DAY!
WELCOME TO THE
GERMAN SIDE OF MELBOURNE
From 18 October to 1 November 2026, Melbourne gets a little more German. Two weeks of culture, art, food, business and plenty to see, taste and do across the city.
There’s a movie night where subtitles are optional, opera nights that take their drama very seriously and a foosball tournament played with real German ambition. Bake pretzels with the kids, talk business over Melbourne's unique coffee or follow the live music from one end of the fortnight to the other.
German or not, this one's for you.

CURTAIN UP. GERMAN WEEK STARTS HERE.
OPENING NIGHT: MOVIE PARTY
On 18 October, German Week begins with a pre-party for good company, then slides into shared laughter over Empty Nesters (Die Ältern), Sönke Wortmann's new German comedy movie. With English subtitles, so nobody's left outside the joke.
Not just a movie night. Not just a party.
This is the celebration that gets German Week on the road.
TWO WEEKS, ONE CITY
WUNDERBAR IT IS!
The German Week is back in Melbourne! We have a week filled with culture, food, business, education and sport. All with a German theme. There is something for everyone. Ich freue mich riesig darauf!
