A summer of movie magic and live music is on the cards in Hobsons Bay, as two popular events return early next year.
Live music comes to Williamstown and Altona, with two diverse Summer Sounds shows.
Groove along with Melbourne soul legend Kylie Auldist, headlining in Williamstown on 24 January alongside soul-pop group Velvet Bloom and indie First Nations artist Ruby Mae.
Acclaimed singer-songwriter Adrian Eagle, New Orleans-style brass band Horns of Leroy, and homegrown surf rockers Hobsons Bay Coast Guard perform in Altona on 14 February.
Both Summer Sounds mini-music festivals will have roving entertainment craft workshops and a circus-skills playspace.
The Williamstown event will also feature a sustainability focus with a Fast Fashun workshop and parade.
For film lovers, Movies by the Bay returns with outdoor screenings at Altona, Seabrook and Williamstown.
Zootopia 2 on 16 January at Logan Reserve in Altona and Kangaroo on 30 January at Homestead Run Reserve in Seabrook will give the whole family something to enjoy, while on 6 February, Bruce Springsteen fans are in for a treat, with the biopic, Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere, to be shown at Commonwealth Reserve in Williamstown.
Appropriately, a live tribute band, Made In USA, will play some of the Boss’s greatest hits prior to the screening.
“Summer is a special time in Hobsons Bay,” said mayor Diana Grima.
“I’d encourage our community to get on down and experience these events, right here in Hobsons Bay.”
