Since 1993 CERES community has honoured the Return of the Sacred Kingfisher to its traditional nesting grounds of the Merri Creek. Our sacred bird will return this year and with your help the CERES Community will be there to welcome it. Let’s make it happen.

The Organic Market and surrounds will be central hub and meeting place. Kingfisher themed activities - face painting, mask making, boogie practice - will be available all morning. The community parade from the market starts at 11.30 to finish at the Pond for our ritual Kingfisher ‘boogie’.

Dress in blue, white and silver and even more importantly – get the kids to dress in these colours. Join the fun.
