Sing along at Summer Sundays

THE City of Ballarat’s free Summer Sundays concert program is underway with performances at the Botanical Gardens each Sunday in January.

The concerts will be held at a new time of 3pm until 7pm which is designed to be family friendly, and the line-up will include mostly local artists.

Music will range from jazz to country, blues to pop, soul to folk, and afrobeat to indie-rock to appeal to a diverse audience.

“What better way can you spend a Sunday afternoon than relaxing in our beautiful Ballarat Botanical Gardens while listening to some amazing live music?” City of Ballarat spokesperson Cr Samantha McIntosh said.

“We’ve seen some great performances over the years and nobody ever goes home disappointed.

“At a time when everybody is experiencing cost of living pressures, it is fantastic to be able to provide something free that the whole family can enjoy.”

Last Sunday’s event included performances from Owelu Dreamhouse, Allysha Joy, Day Fever and Nasal Spray.

The next event on Sunday 12 January will include music from Immy Owsus, The Rookies, The Hot Lemons and Ossak Perret.

Local food and beverage providers will be on site for each concert along with a garden bar and bean bag lounge. For more information, visit the Summer Sundays website.
