Frankston City Council is seeking expressions of interest from suitably experienced individuals or organisations to present a creative project that will actively engage with a large cohort of the Frankston municipality community. The outcome must include largescale community participation and be presented within the South Side Festival period. 2025 will be the fourth year of this dynamic series of events and we are so excited to start programming it.
Festival Overview
