Town of Cambridge expects thousands at Celebrate City Beach event

Julian WrightWestern Suburbs Weekly

THIS weekend’s stormy forecast has forced the Town of Cambridge to postpone the second Celebrate City Beach event to Sunday, February 26.

Held to draw people down to the completed $18 million beachfront redevelopment, which includes three restaurants, a new surf club building, beachside promenade, amphitheatre and lookout tower, the event will feature activities for all ages.

The event has been rescheduled from February 12 until February 26 because of inclement weather.

Cambridge Mayor Keri Shannon said about 1000 people turned out last year and they expected almost double the numbers this year.
