The annual Merry Monbulk Street Fair saw locals and visitors drop into the township of Monbulk for some festive fun last week – offering community connection and fun for everyone.
Officially that time of year, with townships across the region also celebrating in their own ways, the Merry Monbulk Street Fair kicks off Christmas for the community in December every year.
Street performers, Santa, food trucks, dance shows and more kept crowds busy into the evening with a green space in action this year for people to spread out a bit.
Run by the MADCOW township group and supported by the Community Bank, the event was filled with free and fun activities for young and young at heart in the crowd.
The free magical community event with family fun had a great turnout and kids could go on rides, visit Santa’s Grotto, get their face painted and more. The event also had a twilight Christmas market for people to peruse as they enjoyed the fun.
Christelise from the Hills Singers said her and the group loved performing for such a beautiful community event.
“It was a wonderful time of community and celebration,” she said.
A representative from the Merry Monbulk volunteers said they’d love feedback on the event from the community so they can keep improving the fair every year.
The Merry Monbulk Street Party social media thanked it’s social media online Thursday 11 December.
“THANK YOU to all of our incredible volunteers for your time and effort in making this year’s Merry Monbulk a huge success”!” it read.
“This wonderful free community event simply wouldn’t happen without the dedication of those working behind the scenes.”
