## About

The this-weekend scene in Canberra is not about one giant festival swallowing the feed, it is a bunch of smaller moments quietly running the show. Right now the things locals are actually liking and saving are oddly specific and very Canberra: a Sly Fox Market by the water at Emu Bank in Belconnen, a Fix Fest gathering the niche faithful, a Blue Lotus Ceremony titled JUNGLE for the spiritually curious, the 9th Taiwan Film Festival in Australia stopping in Canberra, a throwback Frenzal Rhomb Sans Souci 23rd Anniversary Tour date at Baso, and a nostalgic turn with The Way We Were starring Melinda Schneider at Llewellyn Hall. Together they have pulled in well over five thousand eyeballs, which, in Canberra terms, is not nothing.

Look at where this stuff is landing and you see how the city really does this-weekend. Smith's Alternative in the city keeps showing up in plans, the kind of place where you can wander in for a film fest session then accidentally stay for a gig and an argument about politics at the bar. Accolade on Moore, formerly Y Suites on Moore, has quietly become one of those venues that shapes memories more than it chases headlines, so when something pops up there, the in-the-know crowd pays attention. Out in Belconnen, Emu Bank gives Sly Fox Market that lakeside, slightly chaotic, bump-into-your-neighbour energy that feels very north side.

The mix is broad but the crowds are sharp. Frenzal Rhomb at Baso is for the lifers who still know every word to Sans Souci and are not ready to age out of the pit. The Way We Were at Llewellyn Hall pulls a different set, more polished, more seated, more into big vocals than big amps. The Blue Lotus Ceremony sits in its own lane entirely, pulling wellness heads and the spiritually restless who prefer cacao over craft beer. The Taiwan Film Festival date pulls film geeks, students, and homesick expats who actually stay for the Q&A instead of sprinting for the exits.

If you want the best this-weekend in Canberra without doomscrolling your whole afternoon away, start where the city already is. Hit Smith's Alternative for the culture spillover, check what is on at Accolade on Moore, swing past Emu Bank for Sly Fox Market if you like your plans loose, then choose your poison from the list below. None of it is trying to be the one big thing. It just happens to be what people are actually turning up for.
