It’s Laverton’s turn to experience a fun day out with the upcoming Laverton Festival.

Laverton Traders Association marketing manager Anne Randall has been with the festival since it began more than 20 years ago, watching it grow more and more.

“It was a lot smaller when it first began, we started out hosting it on a piece of asphalt with nothing,” she said.

“Now we have an amazing stage and it is held in an inviting environment.”

More than 5000 people are expected to attend over the course of the day, which Ms Randall said requires a larger location.

The event will be held at Curlew Community Park for a day of live music, rides, food trucks and stalls.

“It is free to enter however there will be a $15 kids package which includes all rides and activities,” she said.

In addition to the activities and rides, Ms Randall ensures that parents and adults will also stay entertained with a line of local talents and performances.

The event will be held on Sunday, February 18.
