Events

Join the festivities on the Mornington Peninsula. Celebrate the visual arts from regional galleries to community festivals and local artists studios. Experience fresh produce, incredible environments, live entertainment or get a feel for the community. There’s always more happening than we can bring to your attention but this section is a selection of some of the events the LTP editorial team will experience throughout the year.

Emu Plains Market

Underneath the ancient glade of a stringybark forest, makers unite to create a craft revolution never before seen on the Mornington Peninsula. More than just a market the Emu Plains Market brings together the community for a monthly festival-like feat of art, food, design and culture set within the picturesque Emu Plains Reserve in Balnarring.

International Lighthouse and Lightship Weekend at Cape Schanck

Join us at the Cape Schanck Lighthouse for the International Lighthouse and Lightship Weekend! Be sure to book in a tour of the Lighthouse, where you will climb the steps to the lamp room, discover the history of the lighthouse, see how it still operates to this day and experience spectacular views across from the Lighthouse Balcony.

Candle Making Workshop at Red Hill Candle Co

Join the Red Hill Candle Co team in their Scent Lab located in Dromana on the Mornington Peninsula where you will get hands on and learn the basics of candle making. Their 90minute workshop is designed to be a fun memorable day out rather than a heavily detailed training on making candles. At the end of the workshop you will have designed and made two of your very own custom fragranced candles to take home.

Current at Mclelland Sculpture Park & Gallery

Their work affirms their powerful connection to their lands, waters and ancestors. The exhibition highlights the three vital and contemporary multidisciplinary practices and references the movement in the passages of water along the eastern coast of Australia connecting land and people of the Torres Strait in the far north to Tasmania in the south.
