As the flagship event of the Canberra Festival, Celebrate in the Park 2009 is warming up to do the biggest yet, as Canberra turns 96 and we count down to the centenary.
Aussie icons Hoodoo Gurus will headline the free event on Monday 9 March at Commonwealth Park’s Stage 88.
Avant pop goddess, Kate Miller Heidke and songstress Jessica Mauboy will play alongside the Hoodoo Gurus and lead an exciting bill of national and local musicians.
In 2008, over 30,000 people celebrated in style as Canberra turned 95 at Commonwealth Park on Monday 10 March.
Stage 88 came alive with Human Nature, pop diva Ricki-Lee and Aussie rock legends Mental as Anything all featuring live at the massive party in the park.
Local Canberra legends Ashleigh Mannix, Andi and George, Low Key and Chase the Sun blew away the crowd, as the park enjoyed special 95th birthday balloons, birthday cake, rides and amusements for the young and old.
With fireworks, cake and free entertainment Celebrate in the Park 2009 promises to be a party not to be missed.
BYO picnic rug!
