The Norlane Community Centre will celebrate this year’s winter solstice with a free event full of music and activities for people of all ages.
The winter solstice is the day of the year with the least daylight hours and occurs on June 21.
Event organiser Melanie Humphrey said she expected close to 1000 people to attend the event, which would have many activities.
“This is our second winter solstice…so, I’m looking forward to it going well and the weather being good, but we’ve got wet weather plans just in case,” she said.
“We’ve got free food, entertainment, music, the fire twirling, choirs, crafts and games, and we’re going to have indoor and outdoor games set up on the day.
“I’m also looking forward to seeing the fire breathers again, we’ve had them in once and that was really popular. So, to see them again and all the kids…having fun will be great.”
The event will feature fire twirling by Serena Rose McCartney, a lantern parade, games, food, and music by the North Geelong Community Big Band and Bluebird North Children’s Choir.
Entrance into the event is free and will take place at the Norlane Community Centre at 39A Rose Avenue from 6pm to 9pm on June 21.
