MOYNE Shire will be rolling out an enticing program of free youth activities and events in conjunction with the Winter Weekends festival, which will be held over the King’s Birthday long weekend.

 Moyne shire mayor, Councillor Ian Smith said all the activities will be free, but bookings are essential as spots are limited.

“We’ve seen from past Winter Weekends just how popular these activities are,” he said. 

“We invite local and visiting young people to jump in and have some fun during the festival.”

Winter Weekends spokesperson, Melanie Schultz said the committee has been working hard behind the scenes to bring over 30 different arts, music, food, environment and community events to life, including the ever- popular Community Bank Dachshund Dash.

“We are delighted to be once again partnering with Moyne Shire Council to offer a wide range of free events for young people and their families to enjoy,” she said.

The much-loved festival lights up Port Fairy in winter, bringing cheer, visitors, and a diverse range of fun events to town over the King’s Birthday long weekend, included below.
