Blessing of the Fleet Community Day Melbourne Day 30th August 2014
To celebrate the Birthday of Melbourne, "Melbourne Day", raise awareness of our rich Maritime Heritage and to the great asset that is our waterfront here in Docklands.
The event will create a spectacular sight with flotillas of private and commercial vessels filling Victoria Harbour. It will enable people who live, work and play in Docklands a great opportunity to experience Docklands from the water. They will enjoy a brand new perspective of Docklands with views of Melbourne's skyline seen from a whole new angle - the water. Vessels will be available for charter by private groups, or free to the general public.
The event is supported by City of Melbourne, Docklands Chamber of Commerce, Yarra River Business Association, Melbourne Ports and Waterways. There will also be a vigorous radio, TV, printed and social media campaign. We hope that Docklands Corporates will get behind this event to inject a sense of place and ownership of our backyard that we call Docklands.
