January 26 will see the ever popular Australia Day Family Fun Day return to Geelong’s Rippleside Park in an event that has been enjoyed by families for generations. The free day organised by the Lions Club of Corio Bay’s Geelong Australia Day Committee will see over 40 attractions and a whole day of entertainment.
Running between 11:00 AM and 5:00 PM there will be carnival rides, petting zoos, face painting, train rides, jumping castles and so much more to enjoy. The event will feature roaming entertainment and plenty of displays including exhibits from emergency services, scouts and guides and the Geelong Military Re-enactment group.
During the afternoon there will be a short parade followed by an Australia Day flag raising celebration which will include an Australia Day address and the singing of our nation’s National Anthem.
The park has plenty of parking and shade, so bring a picnic or pick up some lunch at one of the many food vendors and enjoy a great Australia Day in Geelong.
