Mitchell Shire Mayor Bill Chisholm said council was always looking for activities and events to engage young people in the shire.
“The isolation caused by COVID-19 restrictions has had a significant impact on young people and this event is a chance for them to get out and be active together,” he said.
“It will be a COVID-safe event and organisers will continue to monitor the situation and implement any necessary measures to keep everyone safe.”
