The annual festival runs across the September-October school holidays, and celebrates children up to 12 .

This year the theme is ‘The Great Outdoors’.

Little Day Out is the festival’s headline act at Ross Reserve, including amusement rides, live performers, market, food, stalls and a Make Your Move Zone to try a variety of sports.

Over two weeks, there’s a packed calendar of live shows at The Drum, free activities at local libraries and a series of outdoor movies at Harmony Square and Springvale Community Hub.
