The arrival of winter means a drop in temperatures, but also a spike in fun and entertainment in central Werribee, with Wyndham’s annual Winter Street Party returning on Friday, June 28.
Running from 4pm to 9pm, the 2024 Winter Street Party will take over Watton Street with fire shows, street performers, interactive art installations, marshmallow toasting, live entertainment, kids’ activities and much more.
Local creatives will be given a platform to show off their skills, with a winter market featuring 30 local Wyndham artists and makers and two live music stages featuring Wyndham musicians and performers
A highlight of this year’s event will be Leor, a 4 metre tall marionette that is set to steal the show. Witnessing this magnificent giant puppet come to life is likely to build an appetite, but fortunately hungry patrons won’t have to look hard for a place to eat.
Whether you’re up for a cosy dinner, or prefer to grab a bite on the go, businesses will be open late with special offers and delicious winter dishes to indulge.
To accommodate the wintery fun, there will be some rolling road closures and traffic management in the run up to the event.
Station Place and sections of Watton Street will be closed to traffic from 6am on Friday, June 28, until 2am on Saturday, June 29.
Access between Bridge Street and Comben Drive will remain open with traffic management in place, while the designated taxi zone in Station Place will be relocated to Comben Drive.
As a result of these road closures, patrons are encouraged to get public transport to the event.
