Children’s storybook characters including Paddington Bear, Minnie Mouse and Alice in Wonderland are expected to make appearances during next week’s Celebrate Mooroolbark festival.
Storytelling will be a central part of the two-day festival, with sessions scheduled at the community centre auditorium and a visit by well known author-narrator Stig Wemyss.
The festival kicks off with a talent quest at 7.30pm on March 20 at the Mooroolbark community centre, followed by a street parade down Brice Ave on March 21.
A marketplace of more than 80 stalls, delicious food, rides, an art project and live entertainment will make for a fun day for the whole family.
