THE Boambee East Community Centre is inviting the community to come together and warm their hearts at the Winter Solstice Family Festival.
The Festival will be held on Saturday, 21 June from 1-8pm.
Now a cherished annual tradition, the Winter Solstice Family Festival promises to be a joyful and magical celebration for all ages.
The event marks the shortest day and longest night of the year, bringing light, laughter and a touch of old-world charm to the heart of the community.
“Expect classic games like sack races, beanbag tosses, and egg-and-spoon relays – fun for kids and grown-ups alike,” a spokesperson for the Community Centre told NOTA.
“Children will be thrilled by the jumping castles, face painting, and a reptile display, while music lovers can soak up performances by live musicians, a pipe band, drummers, and dancers throughout the day.
“The festival also features a silent disco, sensory space, community stalls, food stalls, and appearances from emergency services, making it a safe and inclusive celebration for everyone.
“As twilight falls, the energy will rise with fire twirlers, a magical lantern parade, and a spectacular bonfire to light up the night and warm the soul.”
The Festival is designed to be a “no cost–low cost” event, ensuring that everyone in the community can take part in the festivities, regardless of budget.
“We want this to be a day where the whole community can come together, celebrate, and reconnect.
“It’s about joy, community spirit, and creating beautiful memories together.”
