Calista Oval will transform into a vibrant magical experience, perfect for children under 12, with a kaleidoscope of fun-filled activities and entertainment.

The Alcoa Children’s Festival promises a colourful array of experiences and adventures for young children at Calista Oval on Saturday, 8 March from 11am to 3pm.

Whether flying 12m high on the dream swinger ride or trying your hand at firefighting, the festival will be packed with thrilling experiences from toddlers to pre-teens, Mayor Peter Feasey said.

“I encourage families to explore the educational stalls and hands-on activities designed to ignite curiosity and inspire young minds, while celebrating the beauty and diversity of the world around us,” Mayor Feasey said.

“Families can indulge in a variety of mouth-watering treats from food vendors while soaking up the vibrant, family-friendly atmosphere at Calista Oval," he said.
