Springvale Snow Fest 2018 has taken out a national prize as Australia’s best community event.
The event, in its seventh year, recently took out the category at the Australian Event Awards in Perth.
Each year, it brings the snow and winter activities to thousands of festival goers in central Springvale’s streets.
Greater Dandenong mayor Roz Blades said the win against “very impressive competition” was a “major coup”.
“Winning this award further cements Greater Dandenong’s reputation as a City of Celebration,” Cr Blades said.
“Springvale Snow Fest has won a number of awards and continues to draw crowds in excess of 40,000 people each year.
“The fact we are able to bring real snow from Mt Buller to Springvale each year gives our community the chance to experience all the fun of the snow right in the heart of their own backyard.”
