I Love Rochy - A Night of Spectacle!

Following up from Thursday night’s program, Friday promises even more festivity.

From 5.30pm, the former Murray Goulburn Dairy factory will be host visual projections as part of the I Love Rochy - A Night of Spectacle! event.

Viewed from the end of Moore St, they will provide the backdrop for a parade featuring puppets, stilt walkers and spectacular costumes.

Masks and costumes, like those crafted at the SLAP Dash HABBER Dash event on Thursday afternoon at Rochester Community House, will be loudly and proudly on show.

The parade will move along Gillies St, crossing onto Mackay St and finishing at Rochester Shire Hall to continue the spectacle.

Dressed to the Thirteens

When the clock strikes 7pm, the Dressed to the Thirteens costume ball will begin.

Featuring entertainment including acrobatics and live music, attendees of all ages can dress as boldly and brightly as they’d like.

The night’s line-up includes an illusion and fire show by Melbourne magician Luke Blaze and performances by Numurkah’s Squish, leading the Six Week Wonders.

Clunes acrobatic duo Asking for Trouble are also set to impress.

Guests can enjoy a range of food vans to keep fuelled for a night of fun.

Tickets are free, and can be booked via trybooking.com/events/landing/1370626

Live music

Meanwhile, the pubs in Rochy will host live performances of their own.

Melbourne duo Norwood is set for an 8pm show at the Shamrock, supported by Nathalia duo Broken Creek.

At the Criterion, Bendigo indie rock band Broad Parade and Echuca’s Darcy Ramage will be delivering the tunes.

Up the road in Echuca, the American Hotel will see Melbourne’s Danny Walsh Banned, supported by Bendigo rock band The Unknown from 8pm to 11pm.
