New Mayor Lightens up for Christmas

Frankston City's New Mayor, Cr Brian Cunial, welcomed in Christmas by turning on the lights to Frankston's 100 year old Norfolk Pine tree.

"This is an honour on my first day as Mayor," said Cr Cunial, "It's been a childhood dream to light the Christmas tree."

The lighting of the Christmas tree is symbolic to many locals as the official start of the season. The tree is alight from 8:00am until 12midnight through to the New Year.

Mayor Opens Toytopia!

Frankston City's Mayor, Cr Brian Cunial, had great pleasure in opening Sandsculpting Australia's "Toytopia" an exhibition of sand sculptures that will delight both the young and young at heart.  There were 23 sculptors from Australia and countries around the world working on the event, and once again have impressed us all with their magnificent, detailed work.

The exhibition opened on 26 December 2011 and will run until Thursday, 26 April 2012, and is open daily.

The magical world of "Toytopia" is not to be missed.  For tickets and more information visit www.visitfrankston.com or phone
