About
It's time to gather on the grass and move to the music! We have an incredible line-up of performers for all ages this year at the Whitehorse Australia Day Concert.
Join us for a casual evening with family-friendly activities and food trucks to kick things off from 5pm. The concert officially starts at 6pm with a warm welcome from the Mayor. As the night unfolds, enjoy the rhythm of classic hits and stellar performers, culminating with a spectacular fireworks display.
Keep the kids entertained all evening with free rides, face painting, interactive activities, and a selection of delicious food and treats.
Best of all, this event is free! So bring your family, invite your friends, and make your way down to the Australia Day Concert!
