Live music makes a big comeback this summer with a series of outdoor events in Victory Park at the AGL Loy Yang Sound Shell.
Latrobe Performing Arts Centre presents ‘Summer Sessions’ a way to welcome you back to after a long time away.
These free family friendly events will feature Gippsland’s finest musicians, many who took to the stage during our popular LPA Online series.
You can expect to see a blend of folk, rock, pop, country and bluegrass in a laid-back setting with some very special guests by popular demand!
Bring a takeaway dinner from one of Traralgon’s many nearby restaurants and eateries, pack a picnic rug and chair, and cap off your weekend with live music in the lush surrounds of Victory Park.
