Beaton Reserve will host a free day of Winter Festivities for the whole family on June 4.

Yarraville Community Centre is hosting a Winter Festival at Beaton Reserve, between 11am and 3pm on Sunday, June 4, with the support of Maribyrnong council.

Chief executive Chris McCall said the event aims to celebrate the diversity and vibrancy of the local community.

“It’s going to be very family friendly, we are hoping to really bring people together,” she said.

There will be live music performances by local artists and a range of food and beverage vendors on-site, offering free samples and testers of winter treats and warm drinks.

“Wembley Primary School choir will be there on the day giving an amazing performance,” Ms McCall said.

There will also be many activities to keep the children entertained throughout the day, including a petting zoo, Princess on Skates, and face painting.

The Trugo Club will also be offering a chance for festival goers to test their skills at a unique Australian sport.

“This event is a fantastic opportunity to bring our community together and celebrate all that makes Yarraville such a vibrant and welcoming place to live,” Ms McCall said.

Yarraville Community Centre is a not-for-profit organisation that has been providing educational, recreational, and social activities to the Yarraville community for over 47 years.

The Winter Festival is one of the many events and programs offered by the centre, which aims to foster a sense of community and promote social cohesion.
