🔥 Thanks to everyone who came along and made Fire Night such an amazing evening! Winter can be a time when we spend a little more time at home, so events like Fire Night give everyone a reason to rug up and enjoy a night with family and friends.

And winter has its advantages too with early sunsets meaning families can experience Flagstaff Hill after dark, with open fires, warm food, toasted marshmallows and live music all adding to the festive atmosphere.

There’s always another great event on the horizon, so stay in the loop with everything happening in Warrnambool at www.whatson.warrnambool.vic.gov.au.

📸 MEGA GALLERY: We had a blast at Fire Night on Saturday! We hope you did too =)
