An iconic community house tucked away in the Dandenong Ranges is turning 50 in early November and putting on a festival to celebrate.
The free and family-friendly event will kick off on Saturday 8 November from 2pm, for an afternoon of celebration, reflection, and entertainment.
“This milestone celebration is more than a festival – it’s a tribute to the people, stories, and community spirit that have shaped Selby Community House over the past five decades,” said Danielle, the House Manager at Selby.
For 50 years, the Selby Community House has been at the heart of the hills, connecting people, fostering creativity, and supporting lifelong learning and will mark the occasion with food, live music, performances and displays.
A Welcome to Country will commence the festival fun, and the afternoon will host many live musical performances by Jon Collins, Charlie Needs Braces, the Sweet Sassafras choir, Kofi Kunkpe and The Yarra Valley and Badger Creek Drummers, Milk Bar Run and a talk on the history of the house.
The free event will be held at the Selby Community House at 1 Minak Road, Selby, Saturday 8 November from 2pm to 6pm.
Join friends, neighbours, and fellow community members as we look back with pride and forward with excitement to the next 50 years.
