Sips and Sounds sees off a Molonglo summer


Released 23/02/2017

Molonglo Valley residents will farewell summer with an afternoon of music and fun when Sips and Sounds takes over Link Park on Saturday 25 February.

One of many events organised by the Land Development Agency’s Mingle program, Sips and Sounds is an opportunity for Molonglo Valley residents to enjoy a relaxing, social community event on the last Saturday in summer with great music, food and drinks.

LDA Community Development Manager Jody Gleeson said events like Sips and Sounds were important in helping build community ties in new development areas.

“While Molonglo Valley is a new area, the sense of community here has really grown quickly from an early stage,” Ms Gleeson said.

“We have had very good support for a number of community building initiatives and I’m sure the residents will again be out in force at Sips and Sounds at Link Park.

“This is another excellent opportunity for new Molonglo Valley residents to get out and meet some of their neighbours in a friendly, relaxing atmosphere.”

Up-and-coming Canberra singer-songwriter Lucy Sugerman will kick off the festivities at 4pm before the Brass Knuckle Big Band flick the switch to party mode at 6pm with their energetic mix of hip hop and horns.

Drinks will be available for purchase from Capital Brewing Co while The Wine Crowd will be running a tasting and selling wine.

Water, soft drinks, ice-cream and hot food will be available from a range of vendors.

“While some seating and blankets will be available, people are welcome to bring their own picnic blanket or chair to ensure that they are comfortable,” Ms Gleeson said.

Sips and Sounds is a licensed event so under-18s will need to be accompanied by an adult.

Registration for the event is encouraged but not compulsory.  To register of for more information visit the eventbrite page.
