The program includes our Christmas Concerts at Central Park and Como Park, and our summer series of Sunset Sounds and The Classics, as well as live productions at Chapel Off Chapel and our library-based school holidays program. I’d also encourage you to get out and enjoy some of our great parks and gardens, pools and sporting grounds. Plus, there’s lots to do and see at Prahran Square and in our premier shopping and dining areas.
