The Latrobe City Children’s Expo returned for 2022 this week as part of ³Ô¹ÏÍøÕ¾ Children’s Week celebrations.

Held at the Gippsland Regional Indoor Sports Stadium, the Expo brought together a host of fun entertainment for children and their families and carers, including a magician, a fairy, animals, roving entertainers and even dinosaurs.

Hundreds of local children enjoyed hands-on activities, including face painting, frisbee golf and a jumping castle.

A range of market and information stalls were also there, featuring local businesses and service providers.

Mayor of Latrobe City Cr Kellie O’Callaghan thanked the community and local businesses and organisations who supported the day.

“The expo was a fantastic opportunity for our youngest residents and their families to enjoy an afternoon out, with lots of interactive activities and entertainment, as well as information about the range of services on offer in Latrobe City,” said the Mayor.

Children’s Week celebrations are part of Latrobe City’s broader commitment to supporting children and their families through delivering care, learning and health services.

“Making sure our services and facilities are accessible to children is a key priority for Council, helping them to have the best possible start to life,” said the Mayor.

“We also focus on making sure our community spaces such as Libraries, Latrobe Leisure Facilities, Latrobe Regional Gallery and Gippsland Performing Arts Centre are places where children feel welcomed and an important part of our community.”
