Christmas fun for community

Christmas fun for community

By David Amaya

Christmas Community Day comes with loads of events to kick off the festive season.

This series of popular Docklands activities will take place at Library at The Dock and Buluk Park from 10am-3pm on December 6.

The full program will be available on the library’s website in mid November.

Here are just some of the activities to celebrate the Christmas community day.

Bake off

Your secret Christmas baking recipes will be welcomed at the Docklands residents bake off that shares the sweetness brought by the holidays. Bring on your inner sweet tooth and participate in five categories: Chrissylicious, All I Want for Xmas, The Brightest Star, How Santa Got His Belly and How Santa Lost His Belly. There are also kids categories for the creative young ones to get their baking hats on. A small token prize is awarded to each category winner and the non-competitive bake off is all about the community. To participate, send an email to [email protected]

Open Door Singers

Listen to the beautiful Christmas carols brought by Docklands’ very own choir and join in to explore your own talent.

You don’t have to be a professional singer to find your voice in this choir that encourages Docklanders to come together.

Kids Craft

Children will find a hub to let their creativity fly through this craft session. There will be some surprises by the chefs at Saluministi.

Sunday Music Lounge

The local favourite Sunday Music Lounge is back with a bang, launching on November 26 with singing duo Liona and Janna Tatafu. Tatafu will perform some of their latest music with touches of Soul, RnB, Blues and Reggae. This session has been moved forward due to the Christmas Community Day, but will give an early feel of the festive cheer with music. Also enjoy the Indie pop by Melbourne artist Yeo Choong. Yeo is participating in a mentorship program for creative producers at Library at The Dock and will showcase his talent at the library in the coming months.
