Georges River Council

What’s On – Event Information Updates

We have designed a COVID-19 Safe Community Events Program which will bring a series of free events to the Georges River community from September 2020, through to February 2021. This program will enable the Georges River community to come together safely to enjoy quality local events over the Spring/Summer period, despite restrictions in place to help manage the COVID-19 pandemic.

Stay tuned for these new events to be announced and included in Council’s What’s On event listing.

For more information on any of our events, please contact us.
