THE Mount Evelyn Street Party is ready to hit town again.
The biennial community event will go ahead from 10am to 3pm on Saturday, 24 October, down the middle of the Wray Crescent shopping strip.
With a theme harking back to the time of the Melbourne Olympics, and the beginnings of rock ‘n’ roll, guests are invited to celebrate everything in Mt Evelyn in 1950s style.
Organisers are celebrating with the theme, ‘Memories are made of this’, taken from the hit song made popular by Dean Martin in 1956.
In addition to the wonderful community festival fare, there’ll be classic cars, rock ‘n’ roll music and dancing in the street.
There will be performances from local schools and musicians, Go Dance, Edge Martial Arts as well as a few special treats this year to suite the 1950s theme.
They are the Bebop Vic dance demonstration and workshop, Nick Prelorenzo as Elvis, Rockbottom James and Quadrajet as well as well-known rock ‘n’ roll outfit, the Blackhill Ramblers.
So get your ’50s gear on and get ready to dance.
Miss Lady A Broad, winner of the 2013 Viva Las Vegas Pin Up Competition and Mt Evelyn local, will host the inaugural Mr and Miss Mount Evelyn Pin Up Competition.
Finalists will also be featured in a pin-up.
