Waterfront Festival wraps up A BIG crowd attended this weekend’s Frankston Waterfront Festival. Iconic Australian band You Am I was the headline act on Saturday night. Thndo and Melbourne Ska Orchestra also performed across the weekend. Food trucks, rides, and Lucha Libre professional wrestling also featured throughout the two-day event. The festival was capped off by a fireworks
display. Frankston mayor Nathan Conroy said that the festival had been a success, with a record turnout recorded. “This event has been running for 24 years. But this time around, we’re really stepping it up,” he said. “That’s what Frankston is all about. There really is something for everyone in our beautiful city. It’s what makes us one of the most liveable
and loveable cities in Victoria, and it’s why more and more families are coming here. You can see it and feel it. New building projects and investments, some great hospitality venues, and a really vibrant arts and events scene, as we can see today. “Thank you to you, our community. Thank you for coming, and helping to create another fabulous Frankston event.”
