Wyndham’s free Australia Day program is back and it is Tarneit’s turn to celebrate.
On Sunday, January 26, Penrose Place will light up for four hours of fun, with live music and activities for kids set to keep everyone entertained between 10am and 2pm.
Headline acts will herald from near in far, as The Mik Maks will rock, The Soul Movers will send you back to the 60s (if you can’t remember them), NB Dance will bring bravado of Bollywood, One Spirit Africa will arrive in just in time with their beats and Woody’s World will show that anywhere is a good place for Ukulele.
On the lawn, free craft activities, face painting, hula hooping fun with Circus Lab, Dreamy the Dream Bear, the incredible Bubble Brothers, fantastical aeronauts, stilt walkers and the brass band Ballahornication might help with the age-old challenge of getting kids to go outside.
Revellers can feast at the food trucks or bring along their own lunches and make a day of it with a picnic.
Some of the area’s most altruistic members will be recognised during the presentation of the 2025 Wyndham Citizen and Young Citizen of the Year Awards.
“It’s a wonderful opportunity to acknowledge and appreciate their contribution in front of their family, friends and the wider community,” Cr Mia Shaw said.
Tarneit’s first Australia Day rodeo, the event will follow on a tradition that has seen the fun travel through Werribee, Point Cook, Hoppers Crossing, Manor Lakes and Werribee South.
