The Walking Thomastown event is back for another year to celebrate the last day of winter.
With the celebration occurring on August 31 from 6pm to 9pm, the free event has something for everyone.
Enjoy live music from local artists, cultural performances celebrating Thomastown’s diverse heritage, a creative lantern-making activity and more.
There will also be a glowing space of vibrant lights that not only celebrates the end of winter in style but also celebrates Thomastown’s hidden gems.
The journey begins at dusk at the Main Street recreation reserve and continues along Edgars Creek, winding through the historic pioneer precinct at Westgarthtown to Ziebell’s farmhouse museum and heritage garden.
This year’s theme is hope, which was decided in consultation with the Thomastown community.
City of Whittlesea chair administrator Lydia Wilson, expressed her excitement at the upcoming event.
“Walking Thomastown is a fantastic opportunity for our community to come together, celebrate our unique history, and look forward to the future with hope. We are thrilled to see this event grow each year and are excited to showcase Thomastown in such a vibrant light,” she said.
“We are expecting this year’s Walking Thomastown to be the most successful yet.”
