March 20- 21

The Barwon Heads Festival of the Sea will be a big bash this year.
    2010 is our 10^th Birthday though it seems only a short while ago that a small group of overenthusiastic locals hatched the idea of a celebration of Our Links to the Sea – surrounded as we are by water and wetlands – our environment, history, culture and lifestyle.

 March 12 – 21 , 2010 will see the biggest yet range of environment activities and displays starting in the middle of the week, historical and natural history displays at the Lobster Pot on the Sunday, the arts commencing with the Quilters on the weekend of Friday the  12^th and culminating with a whole range of displays and activities on Sunday 21^st on the Foreshore.

 Also on the foreshore we will have more than ever before in the way of kids activities, food, wine, market stalls, displays, music and dancing. The skate park crew will be running a skate comp with music and lots of prizes courtesy of Tonic in the Village Park.  We are also planning a 10^th Birthday picnic with easy jazz on the Saturday evening on the foreshore as well.

 The Community Garden will be having a range of activities including a harvest morning tea, launch of their sustainability program and veggie swap market on Saturday 20^th in the morning.

 And the Duck Race will feature a record field. There are hundreds more ducks training as you read this at a secret out of town location. You can buy yours ( and give it some hard training) from this weekend at a range of locations including the Saturday Market.

 And come and enjoy our Big Birthday Festival at the Heads.
