Docklands Business Awards 2020

By Shane Wylie

Just like Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons’ song, Oh what a Night, we celebrated the best businesses in Docklands in the company of Lord Mayor Sally Capp, Deputy Lord Mayor Arron Wood, Councillors Susan Riley and Beverly Pinder and a whole raft of our colleagues at Marvel Stadium on February 15.

We heartily congratulate all the winners and will be hosting this event annually, bigger and better.

Sri Lankan Festival

Last held in 2018, the Sri Lankan Festival – Lankanfest – will be making Docklands home annually and held will be held on March 21 and 22 this year. Expected numbers are in excess of 30,000 will makes this one of Docklands’ biggest activations of the year.

Sponsored by the Sri Lankan Tourism Board and Sri Lankan Airlines, the festival is looking to activate Harbour Esplanade and indeed the whole precinct.

A true celebration of Sri Lankan food, culture, music, arts and handmade crafts. From 10am daily through to 11pm you won’t be able to miss it.

Run 4 The Kids

Run 4 The Kids returns to Docklands again in 2020, true to the promise to make our precinct its home forever.

March 29 will see a change from last year’s route, but again, both the short and the long runs will head over the Bolte Bridge and maintain a start and finish in Docklands.

We’ll again be hosting a charity breakfast in the lead up to the run. Last year we raised over $7000 in support of the Royal Children’s Hospital and will welcome all Docklands businesses, stakeholders and residents alike to attend •

The charity breakfast will be held at Berth Restaurant on the morning of March 25. Keep an eye out on visitdocklands.com.au for more details.
