Event description

Games, Guzheng & Goodies
🎲🎢🍜 Music meets games meets snacks β€” right in the heart of Melbourne CBD!

Join us for an open jam, game night, and snack-sharing session all in one. This is a relaxed, all-ages community hangout where everyone’s welcome to join in the fun.

πŸŽΆβ€―Live Jam with QiQi (@qiqimusic_)
Bring your instrument and jump in for an acoustic jam session led by guzheng artist QiQi. Play along, share a song, or just vibe out. All styles and skill levels welcome β€” unplugged encouraged!

πŸŽ²β€―Games from Across Asia
Bring a game from your heritage or childhood and teach it to others! We'll have a few to kick things off β€” think Mahjong, Fish-Prawns-Crabs, cards and more.

πŸ±β€―BYO Snacks (and Appetite!)
Pack your favourite Asian snacks to share, swap or stash (we get it). And yes, we’ll have some delicious donuts from our friends at @joeysdoughies to sweeten the deal 🍩

✨Come for the music, stay for the snacks β€” or the other way around.
A night to jam, laugh, connect, and play.
