The West Gippsland Arts Centre (WGAC) is excited to announce 'Forecourt Fridays,' a series of free live music events guaranteed to bring the good vibes.

Kickstarting on Friday 15 December, the once-a-month events will feature a mix of local artists and musicians, showcasing the rich talent of Gippsland.

Mayor of Baw Baw Shire Cr Annemarie McCabe expressed her enthusiasm for the new music series.
