Geelong’s CBD will spring to life this autumn with free entertainment during lunchtime.
Local bands, singer-songwriters and street performers will continue to captivate audiences for an autumn edition of the Music in the City series until the end of May.
The free entertainment is predominantly focused in the Little Malop Central precinct from noon to 2pm each weekday.
Musicians will cover a diverse range of genres such as jazz, indie, gypsy folk, blues, roots, reggae and rock, including original compositions.
Performers include pop classics duo The Gems, songwriter and guitarist Eden Ariston and fiddle and guitar duo String Theory.
Mayor Trent Sullivan said Council’s Music in the City program continues to foster a welcoming and fun atmosphere in central Geelong.
“By attracting more people to our city centre for shopping, dining and culture, we support local businesses, boost the region’s economy and contribute towards the vibrancy and safety of this precinct,” he said.
“Take a look at our Music in the City program – checking out some live music is a great way to relax in between shopping and visiting our hospitality and cultural venues.”
Brownbill Ward councillor Eddy Kontelj said the program is just one of the ways Council is supporting the Revitalising Central Geelong Action Plan by attracting increased investment to the area.
“We’re always looking at ways to promote social connection and support our local musicians who are incredibly talented and unique,” he said.
“There are plans to add to Music in the City to the May’d Festival that Creative Geelong are delivering in Little Malop Central and Centrepoint Arcade on Friday 26 and Saturday 27 May.”
