The Royal Children’s Hospital and The Village Festival are teaming up to encourage kids to Dream Big at Melton’s “most diverse family festival”.

Dream Big is a free festival that promotes a healthy body and mind for our next generation through the arts.

Taking over Mount Carberry Reserve in Melton South on April 2, Dream Big is set to be a day of wild entertainment for the whole family from 1pm to 6.30pm.

Everyone is invited to take part in kite making and flying, art workshops, music making and circus and theatre workshops.

Guests can dance to incredible local multi-cultural bands, enjoy the chill tent, the roving performances and the food.

The headline event is the fabulous circus, with singing and drumming performances by children who have been part of the Dream Big Festival Workshop Program in Melton schools.

Royal Children’s Hospital Festival for Healthy Living artistic coordinator Anna Loewendahl said Dream Big is a great opportunity to highlight the benefits of the arts in our community.

“We encourage kids of all ages to get involved on the day and express themselves,” she said.

The Village Festival producer Suzanne Kalk said Dram Big “really reflects the multicultural and creative community that is Melton”.

“As producers we just create the festival environment but most of the art you will see and experience is created by local people, local artists and non artists all coming together to celebrate Melton’s vibrant community,” she said.

More information about the festival can be found on Facebook.
