Free events in Wandi and Medina to mark Neighbour Day 2024 in City of Kwinana

Kwinana residents can get to know their neighbours with free events to celebrate Neighbour Day. The annual event encourages people to come together and connect with others living in their neighbourhood. This year’s national Neighbour Day is on March 31, Easter Sunday, but events will be held in Wandi and Medina on March 24 to enable more people to attend. Kwinana mayor Peter Feasey said this year’s theme of “create belonging, share belonging” was a call to action for “everyone to work together to create belonging for ourselves, our families and our neighbours”. “Whether through a cuppa, a picnic in the park or a message of support, Neighbour Day is the perfect opportunity to say thanks for being a great neighbour and for being there to lend a hand,” he said. “Neighbour Day events are popular in the City of Kwinana and we love seeing people get together and try a new activity or enjoy some food together and get to know each other that little bit more or even make a new friend.” The Medina Residents’ Association will hold a free event at Ridley Green Park on March 24 from 11am to 2pm, which will include a free sausage sizzle and coffee, and activities including face painting, bubble play, Japanese drumming and live music. Later that day, Wandi Progress Association will put on a free afternoon of fun at Wandi Community Oval from 3pm to 6pm. There will be a petting zoo, pony rides, face painting, laser tag, demonstrations and a performance by the Mucky Duck Bush Band, along with free food and drinks, including beef rolls and a sausage sizzle, plus coffee and ice creams available. Another event will run at Thomas Oval in Medina on March 31 from 9.30am to 11.30am, with a sausage sizzle, magic show by Magic Dale, prizes, roaming photo booth, music and games.
