Whittlesea’s community festival is returning on Sunday 15 March as a full day of free, family-friendly entertainment.
Whittlesea mayor Lawrie Cox said it will be a day for everyone to have fun and enjoy all that Whittlesea has to offer.
“The community festival is a wonderful way for people of all ages to come together, celebrate our creativity, and enjoy a fun day out,” Cr Cox said.
The festival will be held on the Civic Centre Lawns at 25 Ferres Boulevard, South Morang, from 11am to 5pm.
“We can’t wait to welcome families, friends, and pets to share in the performances, activities and community spirit,” Cr Cox said.
There will be live performances on the lawn stage throughout the day including headliner Melbourne brass band ‘Horns of Leroy’.
Other performances include JUNKLANDIA who turn everyday objects into instruments, and an aerial display by ‘BLOOM!’ inspired by the colourful natural world.
“The festival is a celebration of everything that makes our community vibrant, from music and theatre, to food, activities and cultural experiences,” Cr Cox said.
Beyond the stages, there will be community stalls, food trucks, arts and crafts, expos about pets, emergencies and sustainability as well as dedicated youth and family zones.
Community Award winners will also be announced on the day, recognising those who go above and beyond to make Whittlesea a wonderful place to live.
There is onsite parking at the venue, and public transport access via South Morang train station and buses.
