Millgrove is going to be lit up again for a unique lighting event combined with theatrical and music performances on Saturday 12 April.
Last years event was a sellout, with around 350 people enjoying guided tours through lit up areas of Millgrove.
Although it’s a free event, booking through Humanitix is essential to secure a ticket, as each tour is expected to be fully booked soon.
MRAG president Maureen Halit said “the event is about connecting the community through positive experiences and seeing Millgrove in a new light, pun intended. We are so excited about what the future holds as
we start to implement Millgrove’s Community Plan 2025 and encourage residents to be engaged with the process.”
The creative skills of local companies The Dreaming Space and Artbox will be creating the artistic event with acting support from The Misfit Theatre Group.
Last year’s event was well received, with attendees lauding the light displays, soundscapes and acting montages.
MRAG vice president Phil Pomaroff said there’ll be virtual tours, telling the unique stories of its local legends.
“This year the tour groups will be taking a virtual walk to local Platts Falls and along the way will bump into local legends from four time periods, starting at 1900 up until current times and will discover unique stories about them,” said Mr Pomaroff.
“Millgrove Residents Action Group has been planning this event for many months and we are very fortunate to have received grants from the Yarra Ranges Council for their Partnership Program 2023-2027 and from the Warburton and Yarra Junction Community Bank, Bendigo Bank, to enable participants to enjoy it all at no cost.”
Bookings can be made for one of seven tours that commence every half an hour from 6.00 PM, numbers are limited to 50 in each tour and will start from the Millgrove Community Building, next to the
soccer pitch and Millwarra Primary school.
Further details can be found on MRAGs Facebook page or on posters around the township.
