Woy Woy waterfront came alive on Friday, March 10, as the community-led project Sunset Sessions kicked off for the year at Lion’s Park.
The event takes place on the second Friday of each month.
Olivia Sharkey, local artist and founder of Eye Am O, was face painter for the evening.
“Sunset Sessions is a giant community picnic in the grass, where attendees can bring their own snacks or get something yummy from Sharpey’s Love Shack Cafe at the park,” she said.
‘It was so beautiful to see all the laughter, connection and play as the community came together to celebrate the beauty of our neighbourhood, the sunset, and local creative arts.”
Roundabout Circus hosted a kids’ play space and flow arts jam, which included hoola hoops, dragon staffs, fans, light sabres, juggling, ribbons, and a LED lights art performance.
“Next month, on April 14, we will also have more wandering characters and we will be joined by the extremely talented psychedelic art group, The Crud Muffins, who will be running an arts and crafts activity station,” event organiser Kristal Rose said.
“We also have a team of local volunteers who have been instrumental in kicking off this collaborative community gathering in the park.
“We are really looking forward to the next event and seeing how Sunset Sessions in Woy Woy continues to bring the community together, spark curiosity and create opportunities for collaboration and expression.”
Sunset Sessions is sponsored by Central Coast City, a community-run organisation with the aim of uplifting the community and thinking strategically about what locals need to be safe, happy and thriving here on the Central Coast.
The April 14 Sunset Sessions will also feature psychedelic rock bands The Goblet Experience and Turtle Custard and kicks off at 5pm.
Attendees can pre-register their interest in the open mic by messaging the Ethereal Misfits events page on Facebook.
