Whether you are looking for a family-friendly afternoon in the park or a quiet morning admiring local talent, today’s schedule offers something for everyone to enjoy without the need for a stadium ticket.

Arts and Exhibitions

Today marks a significant milestone for local public art with the Friends of Willow Park Mural Celebration. Running from 9:30 am at the Willow Park carpark on Pearce Street, this event celebrates the completion of a vibrant new walkway mural. The work was created by renowned Wiradjuri Elder and local artist Uncle David Dunn. It is a fantastic opportunity for residents to meet the artist and appreciate a piece of cultural storytelling that will brighten the precinct for years to come.

For those who prefer an indoor gallery experience, the Murray Art Museum Albury (MAMA) continues to host its annual RAW26 exhibition. Located in the Brindley Family Galleries, this showcase features outstanding original artworks from eleven young artists across the Murray region. The exhibition explores themes of memory and human connection through various mediums including digital media, ceramics, and textiles. Entry is free, and the museum is open today from 10:00 am to 5:00 pm.

If you are looking for an alternative way to spend the public holiday afternoon, head over to Hovell Tree Park for the 'Nup to the Cup' Family Picnic. Scheduled from 2:00 pm to 4:00 pm, this gathering is designed for those who want to enjoy the sunshine and community atmosphere in a relaxed, family-friendly environment.
