As the days get colder, the Winter Street Party will bring a warm glow to the Werribee city centre.
The much-loved street festival will bring wintry fun to Watton Street on Friday, June 23, from 5-9pm, with a new program to enjoy including fire shows, a pop-up roller-rink, snow play, live music, roving performers, a makers market, glow zone, delicious winter dishes and much more.
Wyndham mayor Susan McIntyre said the event would build on the success of last year’s event – which attracted a record-breaking 12,000 people.
“This year, the Winter Street Party will be even bigger and better; creating a carnival-like atmosphere across the entire Watton Street,” she said.
“Each year, we’ve seen the event continue to grow and this year we’re excited to see it further expand into a full street celebration that brings local businesses, musicians, artists, sporting clubs and community groups together in the midst of winter.”
Wyndham’s creative city portfolio holder, councillor Marcel Mahfoud, encouraged residents to rug up and enjoy the magic of the Winter Street Party.
“This year there will be a new winter wonderland and light-themed activity zones, two live music stages, a neon DJ booth, silent disco, glow-in-the-dark face painting and loads of fun for the kids,” Cr Mahfoud said.
“Businesses will be open late and will be venturing/spilling out onto the street with a range of offerings. From delicious winter fare along with alfresco dining areas to special retail offers, pop-up activations and a new Winter Market featuring more than 30 stalls from local Wyndham makers.”
The free pop-up roller rink will get everyone moving and keeping warm. It will be run from 4pm, Friday, June 23 to 9pm, Sunday, June 25 and at 4 Watton Street, near Troup Park. Bookings are essential and will open Monday. June 5.
