Melbourne's Bikefest would not be a celebration of life on two wheels in this city without an appreciation for food and drink now, would it?

The second annual Bikefest Village Picnic returns in 2013, taking place at the Abbotsford Convent. Presented in partnership with The Shadow Electric Cinema and supported by the City of Yarra, the family friendly event invites bike, food and film aficionados to pack a picnic and enjoy the day and evening program spread across the Mercator Lawns and Sacred Heart Courtyard.
