Wanneroo Mayor Tracey Roberts said the City’s annual event gave youth an opportunity to connect with their peers, try new activities and get information on mental health, drugs and alcohol.
“The event is celebrating its third year and continues to go from strength to strength,” she said.
“This year is the first time it will be run as an afternoon and twilight event and I encourage our young residents to attend and get involved.
“A range of local clubs and authorities support the annual event.”
