In celebration of the two week Wonder Children's Festival this year, Geelong Arts Centre is excited to announce Family Day, a special event packed with fun on Saturday, 21st September.
Families from across the region are invited to join this immersive celebration of creativity, adventure, and imagination. From free interactive activities to delightful performances, Family Day is designed to inspire joy and wonder for kids and families alike.
Building on the success of last year's inaugural Wonder Children's Festival, this year’s vibrant program features a magical blend of free and ticketed events. Whether you’re catching the live performance of The Teeny Tiny Stevies or The Gruffalo, or simply soaking in the vibrant atmosphere, there’s something for everyone to enjoy.
Highlights of the free Family Day experiences:
Wonderland Disco: Let loose and get groovy to disco beats at our Wonderland Disco. Kids will learn funky moves from Hana Fiesta during three ridiculous and absurd disco dance sessions!

One Eye and Frill Neck: Meet two hilarious alien puppets who will spread laughter and magic with their wacky adventures. Catch these two kooky characters between performances throughout the foyers.
Circus Skills: Learn juggling, plate-spinning, and clowning around with roving circus entertainers! Immerse yourself in the fun by trying your hand at a variety of exciting playful circus skills.
Balloon Animals & Face Painting: Watch as balloon artists create whimsical creatures and let little ones transform into magical characters with face painting.
Colouring Table & Scavenger Hunt: Dive into creative fun at the Colouring Table and embark on a thrilling scavenger hunt across the Centre.
