With the Peninsula packed with late night New Years Eve parties and club line-ups, one festival is continuing the tradition of providing an avenue for the whole family to welcome in the New Year. The team behind Morningstar Estate’s New Years events in years gone by have launched Celebration 2013, an all ages family free event running throughout the afternoon and evening at Mornington Racecourse. It’s an opportunity to celebrate the 2013 that was with the year’s largest touring act, captured in a performance by headline act The P!nk Show. The best part? The event is set to wrap up early enough so the kids can get to bed on time and the parents the can head out on the town!
The P!nk Show incorporates the colour and excitement of Pink’s Funhouse Tour, with the rock edge of the I’m Not Dead tour. It’s the most realistic Pink experience you can have, without seeing Pink herself. Starring Susi Tate as Pink (whose likeness both vocally and visually is amazing), with her sensational 7-piece show band, the show features costumes that have been hand made to exactly replicate the artist’s complete touring wardrobe, made from fabrics sourced world wide to enhance the authenticity of the visual experience. It’s a full production concert experience with a live band, backing singers and dancers and is set to bring the racecourse crowd to their feet and certainly ‘get the party started’.
Also on the bill for the day will be local favourite Chris Doheny, bringing you a celebration of Oz music and a special performance by Andrew Hosking, paying tribute to the good ol’ days at The Dava Disco. For the kids, there’ll be an assortment of rides and jumping castles, plus a special guest appearance in the evening by the Transformers, with the Bumblebee Camaro and none other than Optimus Prime!
The racecourse has built a formidable reputation over the years and racing calendar for holding great local events, with fantastic facilities and a location within convenient walking distance for many Mornington residents. Celebration 2013 will be no different, with plenty of delicious food, wine and beer to choose from and the perfect atmosphere for BYO picnics and a summer sunset festival.
