Music, food and community will be the focus of the inaugural Lions Taylors Lakes Community Picnic and Music Fest – a COVID recovery event.
The event will be held later this month and is a chance for locals to get back out and experience some music, while supporting Taylors Lakes Lions Club.
There will be two performance stages, with people able to bring along a picnic or buy food, including from the “obligatory” Lions barbecue.
The line-up includes cover bands, solo acts, duos and even some up and coming young Brimbank artists, keen to get back on stage after last year.
Food vendors include coffee, gelati, hot jam donuts, hot food and a sausage sizzle.
As well as the entertainment, the event will “re-launch“ the Taylors Lakes Lions Club, which has suffered a huge disruption to its events, capacity to support charities and contribution to local projects due to the pandemic.
The club hopes to hold a giant raffle on the day. Entry is free.
The event is on February 28 between 10am and 4pm at the Taylors Creek Linear Park. Community members can access the festival from Chichester Drive.
