Celebrate the Aussie backyard at the Whittlesea Community Festival this Sunday.
The annual event will be held at the Whittlesea Public Gardens, offering fun for the whole family.
The theme of this year’s festival is ‘Our Backyard’, celebrating the gatherings, games and garden that are part of life in both private backyards and community parks.
Whittlesea council said the event will also celebrate the many cultures that make up the Whittlesea community and the different ways we use and look after our recreational, social and restful spaces.
The festival will feature live music, art, dancing, backyard games, roving entertainers, free kids’ activities and rides.
A free bus will run between the Whittlesea Public Gardens and Thomastown station, via Pacific Epping.
The Whittlesea Community Festival is at 157 Barry Road, Lalor, from 11am-5pm.
