Popular event shines brightly
‘LIGHT up the park’ has returned to Mossman’s George Davis Park after a successful bimonthly run in 2024.
The now regular event on the Douglas Shire calendar returned on Thursday, March 6, with a regular line-up of entertainment.
Organised by Mossman Youth Services, the afternoon included numerous fun activities and games, many involving water on what was a hot sunny day. Free food was also provided, including a community barbecue.
As always, the key objective of the day was to provide an opportunity for people to connect with the community, plus learn about local groups and services.
Future ‘Light Up The Park’ events are already planned, at George Davis Park, with April 11 locked in as part of Youth Week.
The afternoon will begin at the usual 3pm and will continue into the evening with a performance from Sea Circus.
Early June is also earmarked for another event and Mossman Youth Services are currently in the early stages of planning one for Port Douglas in the second half of the year.
“Our events are always open to all local organisations, services and businesses, so if you have any information to share, or if you’d like to run a workshop or an activity, we invite you to join us,” organiser and youth development coordinator Brody Andrews.
“This is a great opportunity to connect with the community and raise awareness about your work,” he said.
“Alongside 'Light up the park', a community movie night is also arranged from 6pm on Friday, March 28 at Dixie Park, Port Douglas.”
