Nothing says Youth Week like delicious food, an outdoor movie, a pool party and some live music.
Youth aged 12 to 25 years in the region are invited to kick back at three free events funded by council during Youth Week, beginning April 4.
Council’s Youth Development team has worked closely with the Mackay Youth Council, Sarina Youth Council and Valley District Youth Council to plan an event in each area.
The events to be held include:
An outdoor movie night featuring Cool Runnings, at the George Johnson Park, Mirani, Friday, April 4, 6pm to 8pm.
An outdoor movie night featuring Cool Runnings, at the Sarina Field of Dreams, Tuesday, April 8, 6pm to 8pm.
A Youth Poolside Market Fest featuring free pizza and slushies, youth run market stalls, live music and swim session at the Bluewater Lagoon, Thursday, April 10, 2pm to 5.30pm.
The week of activities will culminate in the inaugural Youth Week Exhibition that will showcase the works of young, upcoming artists who have been working alongside a coordinated group of local artists to hone their exhibition skills.
The exhibition will have an official opening night at the Jubilee Community Centre Exhibition Space on Friday, April 11 from 5pm to 7pm. It will run until April 25.
There will also be Youth Week events happening at Mackay Regional Council Libraries throughout the week. Download the Mackay Libraries app for all the details.
