Welcome to this week's Melbourne events, exhibitions, sports and community guide for September 15 - September 21, 2008.

This week, there's festivals aplenty with the Royal Melbourne Show kicking off this week, the Trung-Thu Festival broadening children's horizons, and a big offering of concerts with Music in the Rounds and the Save La Mama Benefit Bash (say that one fast and there's a 'banana' in there somewhere!)

There's also the grand launch of St Kilda Promenade with a fun-packed day of activities and entertainment, while if the film deliverance didn't scare you too much there's also the Guildford Banjo Jamboree. Darebin Music Feast also continues with the popular High Vibes on Sunday, and two month long festivals offer plenty to see and do with 30 Days of Fashion and the Asian Food Festival offering special events for Melbourne's fashionable foodies.

There are sport details, special dining offers and info on upcoming events and highlights in beautiful Melbourne, so read on and enjoy!
