Organisers of the Pocket Winter Festival say they are pulling out all stops for this year’s event, to be held June 22 from 10am till 2pm at the Pocket School.
The school’s P&C say, ‘From circus magic to musical mayhem, petting zoos to zany clowns, this is not just an event – it’s a full-blown family experience’.
‘That’s why this local community school, volunteer-driven family event has steadily become such a favourite on the family hit list over the past few years with over 1,500 attendees at last year’s event.
Entertainment
‘Whether your little ones are animal lovers, thrill-seekers, dance floor divas or face-painting fanatics, there’s something here for everyone’.
Along with school acts (from 10am), there will be entertainment from Salmon Head (10.50am), Nathan Kaye’s Bark Side of the Moon (12.10pm) and Ziggy & Zumba (1.20pm).
There will also be gourmet food trucks and a Wandana craft beer bar, say the P&C.
‘A raffle with prizes including accommodation, vouchers and other goodies are on offer – scan the flyer QR code to enter the massive raffle ahead of the day.
‘The event is proudly hosted by The Pocket P&C, with support from local legends like Wandana Brewing Co., Billi Bakehouse, Black Drop, Spaghetti Circus, and more’.
