Children's Activities on the Village Green

The 1960’s was a golden era for kids toys…before the Internet and the invention of video games, children used their imaginations to play games. Children of the 1950s played games like Tag, Hide and Seek, Leap Frog, Marbles and Hopscotch. Many of these games involved competition, and often kept children occupied for hours at a time. This year, Retro Party Games will take place Village Green will take you back to your childhood memories with range of vintage games for your kids to enjoy – with great prizes to win! (Gold coin donation – all proceeds are donated to the Rosebud Toy Library). 

On Saturday morning the Rosebud town centre comes alive with Hot Rods, muscle cars and vintage caravan displays, ‘50s bands and street-jiving. At Memorial Hall, there’ll be dance classes, the Peninsula School of Dance has Kids Dance Classes for children aged 8-15 years in the styles of Rock 'n' Roll and Lindy Hop/Swing.

The Rosebud Primary School continues with its fresh food market on Sunday from 8am with great local music.  There’ll be rock’n’roll classic and retro market stalls and food trucks all weekend and Wittingslow’s carnival rides will be there too!  All events will conclude by 5pm on Sunday.
