BERWICK Rotarians will host this year’s Australia Day celebrations at Pioneers Park.
The event on 26 January includes live performances, interactive activities, food stalls, coach rides and a flag raising ceremony.
City of Casey mayor Geoff Ablett said everyone was invited to join in the festivities.
“Australia Day is a community day, and a wonderful opportunity for us to come together as a community and celebrate,” he said.
“And that is certainly what we will be doing in the City of Casey on 26 January with a number of fun, free events for the whole family to enjoy.”
Australia Day celebrations in Casey are funded through the City of Casey Australia Day Grants program.
Celebrations at Pioneers Park, corner Peel Street and Lyall Road, Berwick, will run from 11am to 3pm.
