Pack a picnic and head to Thomastown on Saturday, March 4, for the Promisetown picnic and markets.
Organised by Thomastown Neighbourhood House (TNH), the Promisetown picnic and markets aims to bring together the Thomastown community and celebrate the suburbs’ cultural diversity.
The event will feature Nepalese and Vietnamese performances, multicultural drumming and high energy dance acts from Thomastown and Thomastown West primary schools, as well as a community dance workshop for young and old.
The market stalls will be selling handmade crafts, trash and treasure, while there will also be a range of children’s activities including puppet making, a fairy wings workshop, face painting and a circus show.
THN manager Liz Skitch said the event’s name came from her family’s affectionate term for Thomastown.
It’s catching on,” she said.
“It’s about inspiring our community to think about Thomastown in a magical way, to fill people with hope and inspire their imagination.”
Promistown Picnic will be held at the Thomastown Recreation and Aquatic Centre (TRAC) outdoor space, 52-54 Main Street, Thomastown, from 1pm-5pm.
