Spring is here and we’re celebrating with a fun-filled day for the whole family at the inaugural Mission Bay Spring Carnival!

The fun starts on Selwyn Reserve at 12PM midday. Bring the kids and enjoy a fantastic afternoon of circus performances, face painting, bubble shows and plenty more.

As we welcome the warmer weather, there’s nothing better than getting outdoors and spending time in the community with family and friends.
