Residents and visitors are invited to experience a free day of art, music and events at a community big day out to be held on Saturday, 7 October.
From 10am to 3pm, the Yarra Ranges Mayor’s Big Day Out will be held at Burrinja Cultural Centre in Upwey, with interactive entertainment for residents of all ages and abilities.
Artworks will be on display in the gallery, while performances will be held in the venue’s main theatre.
A community expo will be also held at the event, showcasing community groups from the municipality, along with various council departments and their roles.
Yarra Ranges Council Mayor, Cr Noel Cliff, said the event would be an affordable day out, with accessible entertainment for every member of the community.
“This event is a chance for our residents to let their hair down and have simple, free fun at one of our world-class venues,” Cr Cliff said.
“We’ll have a magician, workshops and drumming activities for kids, with music and performances for people of all ages and abilities to enjoy.
“I encourage everyone in the Yarra Ranges community to come along and see everything their municipality has to offer. I look forward to seeing you there.”
The Upwey CFA will hold a sausage sizzle at the event, with food available for a gold coin donation.
