As we wrap up spring, we’re reflecting on the incredible array of events hosted at Frankston Arts Centre (FAC). This list is just a sampling of the many occasions we’ve supported—our versatile space has become a vibrant canvas for everything from milestone celebrations to educational programs and grand expos. And, of course, this is all in addition to our bustling theatre calendar, with shows and performances on most evenings, matinee shows, morning rehearsals, and technical bump-ins creating a lively atmosphere almost every day.

Celebrations were in full swing, with some of our city’s major awards and festive gatherings choosing FAC as their venue. Highlights include:
- Season Launch Celebration for FAC, setting the tone for a year of exciting programming.
- FCC Volunteer Awards and FBC Business Excellence Awards Gala Dinner, honouring local leaders in style.
- Village Baxter Christmas Party and Frankston’s Christmas Festival of Lights, showcasing the joy of the holiday season and the community spirit.
With tailored lighting, creative styling, and seamless event support, our team ensures every celebration has its own unique flair and ambience.

Spring also marked milestones for local students and school communities. We were thrilled to host:
- School Formals and Valedictory Dinners for Frankston, Carrum Downs, Seaford and Mornington Peninsula students, providing a memorable celebration.
- Hands on Learning 25-Year Conference and Youth Jobs Fest, celebrating and supporting youth development.
