Caboolture residents will have the chance to unleash their inner artist and join an epic monster battle through the Moreton Bay’s Joy Connection 2025 program.
Children in Caboolture can design their unique shields and masks at free Creative Armour Workshops by local artist and sculptor David Spooner. These interactive sessions allow kids to express creativity and prepare for the Monster Siege Big Adventure.
The workshops will be held at Caboolture Town Square, 4 Hasking St, on February 8th. Additional workshops will be held in February and March at Pine Rivers Park, Caboolture Region Environmental Education Centre, and Morayfield Sport and Events Centre. However, dates for these locations were not specified.
The culmination of the Creative Armour workshops will be the Monster Siege Big Adventure, a family fun day held at the Morayfield Sports and Events Centre on 8 and 9 April. This imaginative game pits children, known as Defenders, against adults, called Slobbers, in a quest to protect magical rubber ducks.
Participants are encouraged to wear the armour they created at the workshops and join the parade into battle. The event promises a day of imaginative play, physical activity, and strategic thinking, with additional free activities for all ages.
Moreton Bay City Council Mayor Peter Flannery said the Joy Connection 2025 program offers something for everyone, regardless of artistic experience. He encouraged residents to participate, emphasising the program’s role in strengthening community connections and celebrating artistic expression.
The council believes the workshops provide a fun and welcoming environment for families to create, connect, and share memorable experiences. The Joy Connection 2025 program runs from February to October.
