WEPA (Willoughby Environment Protection Association)

Please join us for a picnic to celebrate nature at the Northbridge Baths 100th Anniversary as part of the Emerge Festival

Bring your picnic rug, sense of fun and your swimmers. Just look for those wearing WEPA t-shirts with the signature water dragon and join us. We will be sharing a stall with the Bushland team.

The festivities will kick off with a 'Welcome to Country' by Auntie Jean Moran, followed by the upbeat sounds of a 1920s swing band, transporting attendees back to the era when the Baths first opened. In keeping with the birthday theme, a special cake-cutting ceremony will feature a grand custom Northbridge Baths birthday cake and a delightful selection of cupcakes for everyone to enjoy. The event will also feature water activities and swimming competitions, perfect for all ages and skill levels.

A special display will chronicle the 100-year history of the Northbridge Baths, offering a fascinating look at its evolution and role in the community and there are guest speakers to explore Willoughby Bushland’s  stall and display.

Attendees are encouraged to take public transport or park in nearby streets and take a free shuttle bus that will loop between the Baths and Northbridge Plaza.

Please note that your RSVP information will be shared with co-host organisations.
