Summer fest springs up again

Music, food and good vibes – those will be the key notes of this year’s Summersault festival.

The annual Caroline Springs town centre celebration will feature a raft of market stalls, carnival rides and amusements and children’s entertainment.

To be held on Saturday, February 9, the festival will include music from Horns of Leroy, Maddy Jane, Public Opinion Afro Orchestra, Saskwatch, Kingswood and dance music group The Potbelleez.

Melton mayor Bob Turner said the festival was a summer event not to be missed.

“Summersault is a showcase of sensational music, food, market stalls, youth activities, rides and entertainment for the whole family – topped off by a spectacular fireworks finale,” Cr Turner said.

Caroline Springs Senior Sergeant Jason Dolman said police would be out and about to ensure a safe and enjoyable event.

“From inside and outside the festival grounds, at transport hubs and across the Caroline Springs and Melton area, police will be out to ensure everyone has a safe time,” he said.

“We want to encourage all Caroline Springs residents and visitors to come along and enjoy everything on offer at Summersault this year, as we know the vast majority of attendees do.

“Our presence will send a clear message to anyone thinking about attending the event to cause trouble.

“We’re excited to see festival-goers enjoy the event.

“Our officers will also be around long after the event concludes to ensure everyone gets home safely.”

Summersault 2019 will start at 2pm and conclude with the Woodlea fireworks finale at 10pm. Entry is free.
