Weekend What’s On


Unicorn Party

The day will feature free rides on ‘unicorns’ – much like ponies with horns – face paint and make-up, hair make-overs and balloons.
There’ll be unicorn food, too, plus unicorn products.

  • Garnar Lane, between Thomas and Lonsdale streets, Dandenong. Until 30 November.
