Maribyrnong fiesta set to make Women’s Day

Preparations are in full swing to mark the celebration of International Women’s Day (March 8) in Maribyrnong.

Maribyrnong council has been helping an array of women co-ordinate their own events over the International Women’s Day weekend and throughout March.

Events include art workshops at the Little Rabbit Café, a fun run beside the Maribyrnong River, and an art exhibition, DJ and cake bake at the Phoenix Youth Centre.

Other activities include a travelling global photography and fashion installation, a roller derby scrimmage, words and stories by women on the West Art Now blog, and a ladies’ dinner hosted by Women of the West.

The March 15 dinner at Nuevo Latino in West Footscray will feature a Latino band and dancing, nibbles and a donation to Women’s Health West and West Welcome Wagon.
