Correction (4 October 2026): an earlier version of this page listed places and details we could not stand behind. It has been rewritten from scratch: every place below was confirmed at two independent sources on 4 October 2026, and every price was copied from the page it was published on.
Looking for something to do this weekend? Five places made the cut, in Keilor, Keilor East and Keilor Park: a regional park, a winery, a pub, a brewery and a monthly night market. Start with Brimbank Park, because Parks Victoria says its barbecues and picnic tables cost nothing to use.
Every place was checked against at least two independent sources, and each price is copied from the page it was published on. Hours come only from the venue’s own listing or the named source. Note that the night market runs on a Wednesday, not the weekend.
Opening times shift with the season, so check before you go.
