From 12 March to 21 May, The Riverlink will host Staging Colours, featuring free performances every Friday night among the existing LIVE at The Levee schedule.

Get creative in the fresh air with Free Art by the River, a fun art class running weekdays from Tuesday 6 until Friday 16 April at the Bourke Street Link.

The fun continues with Creative Capers, a program full of kids activites and entertainment at The Levee Shared Zone on Wednesdays from Wednesday 21 April until Wednesday 26 May.

The Changing Colours program will also see some unusual pieces of art appear on the Riverside Walk by local artists.

The Levee Public Programs Officer David Graham said Autumn is a great time to visit The Levee, with fresh air and the river making a perfect backdrop to catch up with friends or shop in the precinct.

"The activities for Changing Colours embraces the many artists, musicians and makers in our community and invites everyone to get creative," he said.
