Family Entertainment

Engage in a variety of fun activities such as face painting, bubble party, interactive games and others. There's something for everyone, from kids to adults, to enjoy throughout the event.

Community Market & Cafe

Guest Speakers

Listen to inspiring individuals who will share their experiences and knowledge on maternal mental health. This is an opportunity to foster empathy and understanding within our community.

Raffle and Silent Auction

Participate in an exciting raffle and silent auction featuring items and services generously donated by local businesses. This presents a chance to raise additional funds for our cause and have a bit of fun in the process.

Please let us know if you would like to donate an item for our Raffle or Silent Auction.

Quiet Zone

For those who may feel overwhelmed by everything happening around them but still want to participate, we are seeking a partner to sponsor our 'quiet zone.'

We hope to make this available to our community on the day. Alternatively, there are plenty of quiet areas at the back of the oval or near the playground.

**Sun-Smart **

We will provide some shade around the oval; however, there won't be any umbrellas near the kicking competition zone. Please ensure you wear a sun-smart outfit and sunscreen to stay protected.
