THERE is a packed schedule of events around Frankston this weekend.
The new Live and Local event, The Big Picture Fest, Graze Frankston City, Ventana 2021 Reimagined, Do It Outdoors Family Fun, and Yoga in the Park are all set to take place from 19 – 21 March.
Council’s event coordinator Jessica Schuyler said “Frankston’s Do It Outdoors Bumper Weekend is the perfect place for your adventures. The action-packed weekend brings the Live and Local Event Series with great live music and entertainment at four key locations in Frankston and Seaford.”
“Live and Local features captivating live music from performers including former X-Factor runner up and Frankston local Andrew Wishart, markets with great bargains, mouth- watering food and a diverse range of entertainment such as children’s rides and more.”
Students collaborate with street artists
STREET artists will get to work painting murals for the Big Picture Fest later this month.
Artists who will make their mark on Frankston this year include Dave Court, GhostPatrol, Brett Piva, CTO, Melanie Caple, Jason Parker, Julian Cla, Wina Jie, and Maxine Gigliotti.
Artist Melanie Caple said she was excited to get to work alongside local students. “I am working with Frankston High School students to develop a large mural. We are aiming for a high quality outcome that not only strengthens and extends the students’ artistic abilities, but also engages the school community and the Frankston community at large,” she said.
A new era has dawned for Newcastle. Built on the back of convicts and forged by fire and steel, NSW s second largest city is midway through a mighty metamorphous from industrial port to contemporary, thriving metropolis.
Tug boats hustle freighters on the briny harbour, students stream in for classes at the vertical university building, cafes serve up single origin brews, surfers jog home barefoot from a morning wave.
