The Hampton Park Progress Association hosted a family-friendly fun celebration at Arthur Wren Hall on Australia Day, with over 300 Casey residents revelling in fun activities and live entertainment.
The celebration commenced with the Australian Air League marching with the flag, followed by the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community’s Children’s Choir singing the Australian National Anthem.
President of the Hampton Park Progress Association Luke DeLutis said the association had a long-held tradition of holding an event on Australia Day to bring the community together.
“We wanted our community to have a free event where they can enjoy themselves without breaking the bank,” he said.
“We were pleased to see so many families and individuals enjoying their time with us. There was a real sense of community harmony.”
Victoria Police, Hampton Park Fire Brigade, State Emergency Services, Ambulance Victoria, Neighbourhood Watch Casey, Australian Air League-Berwick and Cranbourne Squadrons, Vocal Performance School, Team Richards Rock n’ Roll, Gippsland Gate Radio & Electronics Club, Ahmadiyya Muslim Community, Ahmadiyya Muslim Community’s Children’s Choir, 2023 Casey Citizen of the Year Jo-Ann Fitzgerald, Hampton Park Uniting Church, and Hampton Park Baptist Church attended the scene.
A sausage sizzle, snacks, and kids’ activities were available on-site.
