Afterdark Party
Destination Melbourne are proud supporters of the RACV Victorian Tourism Awards and we also like a party. Therefore, it’s a perfect fit that we host the official after party.

Travellers Aid Trivia Night
Destination Melbourne hosts an annual trivia night to raise money for Travellers Aid, an integral support service that assists people who are stranded, in danger or facing some other kind of travel-related emergency. Last year almost $7,000
was raised for the charity. This year we are aiming to set a new record. Get a team of 10 together and join us for a fun night of brain training and networking while raising money for a vital service.
