Grab a coffee and a slice of Italian-Australian pie at Marios. The white tablecloths and old-fashioned service provide a calm start before the evening rush. This spot is open late, so you have plenty of time to settle in.

Centre for Contemporary Photography
Walk to the Centre for Contemporary Photography. Arrive with time to spare to browse the daily exhibitions. The gallery is open until 18:00 on weekdays and Saturdays, giving you a window to see the indoor works before the exterior show begins.

Centre for Contemporary Photography
Watch the sunset. As the sun dips toward the WSW around 20:43, the natural golden light fades and the venue’s night projections take over. The building transforms into a canvas for contemporary photographic works.
21:13
End the night at The Old Bar. Located just a short walk away in Fitzroy, this venue offers live music and a lively atmosphere to continue the evening after the projections.
Local tip
The gallery hours are We-Sa 11:00-18:00 and Su 12:00-17:00. Since the sunset is at 20:43, the indoor gallery will be closed by the time the main event starts. Use the time before the moment to visit the nearby Marios for food and drink, or simply enjoy the exterior ambiance as the light changes. The projections begin after dark, so no ticket is needed for the evening display.
