The Emergency Services Expo Redcliffe will be an opportunity to meet heroes who keep the community safe and take a look at an impressive array of vehicles and equipment.
The event will be held at Clontarf’s Pelican Park on October 13 from 9am-1pm.
Children can sound the sirens in a police car, find out what it takes to be a State Emergency Service (SES) volunteer, use the fire hose on a rural fire fighting truck, look inside an ambulance, and much more.
The free event is also a chance to meet the men and women who work tirelessly to protect our community and find out to get involved.
There will be fun and educational activities for all ages, including interactive displays, and live demonstrations.
Moreton Bay Region Industry and Tourism (MBRIT) is delivering the event, which is presented by City of Moreton Bay.
MBRIT CEO Natassia Wheeler says Emergency Services Expo Redcliffe is the perfect chance for the community to connect with the heroes who keep us safe, while learning about the vital work they do.
"The Emergency Services Expo Redcliffe promises a day full of family friendly fun and educational activities, so bring the kids along to explore emergency vehicles and meet local heroes,” she says.
"I encourage everyone to come along to the Emergency Services Expo Redcliffe to support our local emergency services and enjoy an exciting day of interactive displays and demonstrations”.
Dogs are welcome at the event but must remain on a lead at all times.
The Emergency Services Expo is presented by City of Moreton Bay and supported by Gold Sponsors Eden Care, Community Sponsors Crown Properties, Clontarf Beach State High School, Grace Lutheran Primary School, Strategic Sponsors Ausbuild, Australian Trade College North Brisbane, Belgravia Leisure, Crew Legal, University of the Sunshine Coast, PSAH, The Sebel Brisbane Margate Beach, Sesame Lane, Village Motors, Bishopp, The Redcliffe Peninsula, and Innovate Moreton Bay.
