The Ringwood Highland Pipe Band will be marching as a part of the 2017 Australia day parade in Melbourne.  The parade starts at 11:00 AM from the corner of Bourke Street and Swanston Street in the city, and makes its way down Swanston street past the town hall and Flinders street station, over the Princes Bridge and finishes at the Kings Domain gardens.

The Australia Day Parade is a vibrant and colourful procession that sees thousands of people line the streets of Melbourne CBD to enjoy the entertainment and cheer on participants from over 90 community and cultural groups, in a proud display and celebration of our culturally diverse community.

This event immediately follows the Official Flag Raising Ceremony and is the only parade held on Australia Day morning across the nation’s capital cities.

Mount View primary school is holding its Twilight Carnival on Friday evening of 11 November. Mount View Primary School is located in the Melbourne Eastern suburb of Glen Waverley. This diverse community includes families from Australia, China, Malaysia, India, Sri Lanka and more.    The popular Annual Carnival will feature a variety of enjoyable, family friendly, affordable activities.

An array of foods from different cultures will be available to delight the senses.  International traders will serve their tasty cuisine including paellas, souvlakis, curries, pizza, stir-fries, rice dishes, noodles, kebabs, ice creams and gelato.  The popular Parents Association Big BBQ will provide classic festival choices including sausages, and hamburgers.  The young and young at heart will love the fun food offerings of popcorn, fairy floss and snow cones.

The Carnival will feature over 10 major ride attractions, including the ever popular haunted house, Music Trip, Tornado, Giant Slide, Tea Cups, Fun Factory, Camels, Donkeys and more.

Lucky Jars and Chocolate Toss, home made preserves, second hand toys and more will be set up under the shelter on the Walden Oval. Local handmade product and crafts are available from the Twilight Marketplace.

The Market Place starts trading at 2:30 with the carnival entering full swing at 3:30 when the kids finish the school day.  The event  will culminate in a performance by the Ringwood Highland Pipe Band to close out the evening.
