Subscribe
The weather has cooled down significantly in the last week or so, but daytime temperature is still comfortable enough for outdoor activities, so don't let the kids play video games all day long and let's take the family out every weekend of this month and do something fun together (and weekdays on school holiday too if you can make it).
Piazzarama Northbridge
Sun 3 Apr 12-4pm
Northbridge Piazza, cnr Lake & James Sts
The theme for this monthly event for April is "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory," and two versions of the movie are going to be shown that afternoon:
12pm: Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (2005, PG) with Johnny Depp
2.30pm: Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory (1971, G) with Gene Wilder
Other than the movies, as usual there will also be face painting, balloon artistry, roving characters, and a game or two, all for an afternoon of free relaxing family entertainment.
Global Beats and Eats
Sat 9 Apr, 4-9pm
Liddell Park, Girrawheen
Beats and Eats is one of City of Wanneroo's major annual community events. Having rhymed beats with eats, they have no choice but to deliver on both fronts: music and food from around the world would be available in this event. The music component would be banging away on stage with Kim Churchill, Dan Sultan, and more. The food component would be sizzling away at the various food stalls offering cuisine from exotic and far away places including Argentina, Vietnam, South Africa, and more. Lastly, please be aware that this is a free ticketed event, so go to
their website and book your ticket quickly if you're interested to go.
