World-class cycling came to Geelong for the 10th Cadel Evans Great Ocean Road Race, with many cyclists taking to the streets for the five-day event.

NFL fans across Geelong showed their team colours and support during the Super Bowl on 10 February, when the Philadelphia Eagles defeated the Kansas City Chiefs 40 to 22.

The annual Pako Festa was as colourful as always with many cultures coming together along the Geelong West Street despite the over 30-degree weather.

Trucks took over Beckley Park on 23 February to raise money for kids battling cancer and their families during Camp Quality’s Convoy Geelong.

The Vic Open kicked off with an all-abilities golf clinic before returning for its 12th year at the 13th Beach Golf Links.
