Hobsons Bay council is inviting Hobsons Bay residents to celebrate the Lunar New Year in Seabrook.
According to council, Seabrook will welcome the Lunar New Year with a free community event celebrating multiculturalism.
The event was an idea from the local Seabrook community through Council’s Pitch your Project program.
It will be held at Homestead Run Reserve on Saturday, February 17, from 2pm to 6pm.
It will include traditional dance, music, magic, puppetry, and a mask-making workshop.
Council said residents can bring a picnic rug and settle in for a day of fun and entertainment.
Parking is limited, so people are encouraged to walk, cycle or use public transport to get to the event.
A Lunar New Year event will also be held in Williamstown at the Rotunda in Commonwealth Reserve from 11am to 2pm.
Local musician Qi Qi will be playing the guzheng, a traditional 21-stringed zither that releases a resonant melody.

Hobsons Bay mayor Matt Tyler said, “We have an incredible, multicultural community in Hobsons Bay, and this event in Seabrook is going to be a great celebration of that.
“It’s all about bringing people together and celebrating the cultures that make Hobsons Bay such a great place to live, work and play.”
