Central Park to open with concert and celebrations

Collie’s Central Park will officially open today with entertainment and festivities kicking off at 4.30pm to celebrate the park’s opening and the festive season.

Australia’s Got Talent finalists Sisters Doll is returning home to deliver some of their new songs to Collie residents, followed by three live performances in the new music shell.

Collie shire president Wayne Sanford said South32 Worsley Alumina had partnered with the council to make holding the events possible.

“The council is very excited to partner with South32 to bring Sisters Doll, Kate Hindle and Vienna Frame to Collie to open this wonderful community asset,” he said.

On Saturday, residents can enjoy some Christmas celebrations with the Collie Christmas Pageant which is scheduled to get underway from 1pm.

The entertainment will continue into the night with the evening street pageant between 6pm and 7pm with floats and a visit from Santa and his elves.

Street markets, food stalls, face painting, photos in Santa’s Grotto and live music are just a few of the activities for families to enjoy on Saturday.

The events are alcohol and drug free with food and refreshments available.
