Live@Woodside Springfest

Pssst.. little birdy told me that the Live@Woodside Spring program offers a chance for parents and kids to flutter into the city during the school holidays on October 5 for some FREE family fun.

From 11am to 2pm the young and the young at heart can take part in hands-on fun and entertaining performances at the Live@Woodside Spring Fest
Watch as a workspace becomes a play space, just for one day!

Visitors will discover plenty of fantastic free family entertainment as part of this mini spring festival of arts at Woodside Plaza and surrounds (the area bordered by St Georges Terrace, Hay Street and Milligan Street).

Families are encouraged to meet in the city and come along to relax with some lunchtime fun-time! Re-discover the child within with free performances, demonstrations and workshops with mum or dad during work hours.

Watch in amazement as circus and theatre come together with not one, but two fabulously fun circus based performances by the incredible Ayres Rock Surf Lifesaving Club presented by Pinstripe Circus.

The Ayers Rock Surf Lifesaving Club is uniquely Australian, paying tribute to that great aussie icon, the surf lifesaver. It celebrates Australians' love of sun, sand, and surf. Don't miss out on one of their free performances at 11.30 am or 1 pm.

There will also be live music by So Brazil Duo and Cathie Travers, fun arts activities are brought to you by REmida and crossarts, and there are lots of free giveaways for the kids. So get out of the office or grab your family and come along to experience Spring Fest as part of the Live@woodside spring program.

Live@woodside is brought to you by Steamworks Arts Productions and Woodside - An Australian company proudly supporting Western Australian creative arts.
