Happy #ChineseNewYear

A Happy Chinese New Year to all friends and family that celebrate this.

This year is the Year of the Goat (or some call it the Year of the Sheep). It is apparently a Yin year which symbolizes peace and harmony.

 

Even though we don't have any specific celebrations going in #StKilda (maybe something the City of Port Phillip can consider for next year and beyond?), there are plenty of things happening around Melbourne.  The main festival takes place in Chinatown in Melbourne's CBD along Little Bourke Street and Russell Street this coming Sunday 22 February from 10am to 10pm.

 

There will be a second event at Federation Square the following week on Sunday 1 March 2015 from 12pm to 4pm.

#DiscoYoga @ #StKildaFestival

The Disco Yoga this morning in #CataniGardens was a hit. There was a great turn out and instructor, Nickie Hanley, did a wonderful job.

#LiveNLocal #StKildaFestival

If you love live music and like to get out there and support local artists, then this is the perfect week to do just that.  It's part of the St Kilda Festival and is on in various venues throughout St Kilda every night this week, ending with the big festival this coming Sunday 8 February 2015.

 

There is an information booth on the corner of #AclandStreet and Shakespeare Grove in St Kilda if you are out and about and want to get some info about who's playing and where. They are FREE gigs too! With so many amazing performers and bands out there, so there's bound to be something that satisfies everyone's taste.

More #PrideMarch Photos

Just wanted to share some more #event photos from the Pride March last weekend in #StKilda.  It was a great day with a very positive and friendly atmosphere. We have so many different types of events in St Kilda and it's so nice to see that they're all welcomed and loved by everyone.  Congratulations to the LGBTIQ community and to Port Phillip Council on a successful day.

Gay Pride March

It's the 20th Anniversary of #PrideMarch in #StKilda today. It's Just so nice to see our diversity celebrated & supported by everyone. It's also nice to see the #gay pride flags displayed at the council building!  That's very cool. Congratulations #CityOfPortPhillip!
