Frankston festival this weekend THE Frankston Waterfront Festival will take place for the 21st time this weekend. The main stage on the evening will feature musical acts Kingswood, Emma Donovan, and Melbourne rhythm combo The Putbacks. Other performers include The Tarantinos, Phil Para, Brooke Taylor, TK Reeve, and INSTYNKT. Amusement rides will also roll into town for the festival, including Australia’s largest transportable extreme
ride, The Beast. Food trucks, wine, and craft beer will be on offer for visitors looking for something to eat or drink. The night will be capped off with a fireworks display over the water. Discussions had taken place to cancel the festival’s fireworks show, but ultimately it was decided that they should proceed (“Fireworks show to proceed”, The Times, 3/2/20). The Frankston Waterfront Festival will take place Saturday 15 February,
11am–10pm, and Sunday 16 February, 11am–6pm at Pier Promenade, Frankston Waterfront. Entry for the event is free. More information at waterfrontfestival.com.au
