Meraki Minds and Ruby Gill lead Ballarat’s Spring in the Park lineup

Ballarat’s Victoria Park will be transformed into a hub of entertainment this November, and Spring in the Park is the new event to watch.

The inaugural event, run entirely by youth, is set to bring a buzz of excitement and a range of music to regional Victoria on November 16. The lineup includes young local legend Roy Darby, who is a staple alongside his father at the Ballarat Sunday Market, as well as known Ballarat locals FLOC, Gangz, and Meraki Minds who are also performing at Spilt Milk the week after. Grabbing the spot as headline act is artist Ruby Gill, who has recently come off a sold-out tour of South Africa, and who is always intent on bringing truthfulness and her own unique perspective of the world into her indie-pop compositions.

There is no need to buy a ticket or be over 18 to be part of the action. Spring in the Park has been designed as a free event for those of all ages, so that everyone in the Ballarat and surrounding communities can join in the festivities and offerings of the afternoon.

Setting up next to the inclusive playground, Spring in the Park will be host to food trucks, market stalls and amusements, as well as providing an array of activities from local youth groups and organisations.

Spring in the Park is being run by the Youth Advisory Board (YAB), who are young thinkers and change-makers in the community. The YAB aims to provide a fun and inclusive event that has something to appeal to everyone. This is the first event by the YAB, and it is a drug and alcohol-free space.

Parking may be limited, and so punters are encouraged to carpool and to use public transport where possible.

The countdown is on for Spring in the Park on Saturday, November 16, so to keep up to date with the event via www.facebook.com/events/448288995768854/
