Pack the picnic basket and come along to Council’s free annual music program Arts in the Park.

The 2011 Arts in the Park program will be held on Sunday 9, 16 and 23 January between 5 and 8pm at the McDonald Bandstand on the foreshore of Lake Wendouree.

The 2011 event program features a range of entertainment from blues and roots to jazz and rock with a little bit of everything in between.

The first Arts in the Park event this weekend will feature the Bobby Ballinger Swingin’ Safari, Hot Club Swing and Sarah Dwyer.

Portfolio Councillor for Destination and Connections Cheryl Bromfield encouraged the community to come along and enjoy the diversity of this year’s Arts in the Park program.

“Residents and visitors can sit back and relax and enjoy live music in a beautiful setting on the foreshore of Lake Wendouree.”
