The West Gippsland Arts Centre (WGAC) is excited to announce ‘Forecourt Fridays,’ a series of free live music events guaranteed to be fun for all ages.

Kickstarting on Friday 15 December, the once-a-month events will feature a mix of local artists and musicians, showcasing the rich talent of Gippsland.

Each evening is designed to be family-friendly, with attendees encouraged to bring their own food, chairs, or picnic blankets.

If you would prefer to skip the packing, Coffee Vibes will have you covered with coffee and burritos for sale on site, as well as licensed service from the WGAC foyer bar (no BYO alcohol permitted, alcohol consumption restricted to designated areas).

Mayor of Baw Baw Shire Cr Annemarie McCabe expressed her enthusiasm for the project.

“We are thrilled to invite our community to these wonderful evenings of live music and social connection,” said the Mayor.

“Forecourt Fridays are a fantastic celebration of our local talent and a low-cost opportunity for families and young people to enjoy the arts in a welcoming and accessible environment.”
