A jam-packed program of arts and culture events is set to be rolled out in the Macedon Ranges this year, with shows and activities that are sure to keep people entertained and inspired.
Tickets are now on sale for a diverse mix of performances and activities ranging from musical acts and comedy through to theatre performances and workshops.
The program kicks off in February with Ross Wilson and the Peaceniks playing live at Kyneton Town Hall and celebrating 50 years of hits, including all the Daddy Cool and Mondo Rock favourites.
In March, Kyneton Museum will launch Unmasked, an exhibition on loan from ‘Her Place Women’s Museum Australia’ that celebrates nursing and midwifery in the Macedon Ranges and beyond.
Throughout April, a range of local bands and artists will perform in the inaugural ‘Live and Local’ series across the shire’s community halls as part of the 2024 Macedon Ranges Autumn Festival, while children can also burn some creative energy during the school holidays with the Creative Kids School Holiday Program.
People keen to be part of a community collaboration can join the Heart Songs Community Choir Project where participants will learn a repertoire of songs over a 10-week period culminating in a live performance at Kyneton Town Hall.
May is set to welcome back the Melbourne International Comedy Festival Roadshow showcasing the finest talents from the 2024 Melbourne International Comedy Festival.
In July, Garage Girls – a theatre production set in 1920s Melbourne that tells the story of Alice Anderson: the trail-blazing, pioneering, go-getting founder of Australia’s first all-girl garage – will be presented by Three Birds Theatre and The Shift Theatre.
The July school holidays will bring another interactive workshop for children with Shadowland, a workshop for children to design, create and play with their own shadow creature inside the different shadow worlds of 10 domed tents set up inside Kyneton Town Hall.
In August, ‘A Day At A Time in Rhyme’ offers theatre enthusiasts a unique experience crafted by industry veteran Jane Clifton.
Children and adults can join renowned storytellers Bunk Puppets in September for the entertaining theatre production ‘Hello Red Planet’; a satirical information session laying out a daring escape plan from Earth to Mars when Earth’s problems seem too hard.
September brings more school holiday fun with ‘Creating Junk Journals’ – a workshop where young artists will be guided through the art of Gelli Plate printmaking.
