"The parade will leave from Tarwin Street at 5.30pm, and will feature huge three-dimensional puppets and flags symbolising the community’s hopes and dreams for a sustainable and bright future for the Latrobe Valley, in the light of climate change. The puppets and flags will be created by the children and the general public through a program of artists-in-schools and community workshops.
"Under the banner ‘Power On!’, the festival will present live bands, a special choral performance, street performers, a screening of films from The Grid - SPAusNet short film competition, a children’s choir, displays, and much more.

"The ‘Power On!’ street parade and twilight market is the final event in Latrobe City’s ‘The Grid’ project, so we urge the community to join in with the fun," Ms Adams concluded.
