Blue Light Disco back again

Get your dance shoes on, the Sunbury Blue Light Disco is back in town in early May.

While previous years have had themes, this time round the event is going back to basics – a classic disco vibe.

Angus McTaggart is one of the people who make the Blue Light Disco happen and is excited to help kids connect with local police officers.

“Hopefully these little primary school kids … are able to come to the event and just thoroughly enjoy it,” Mr McTaggart said.

The event, happening on May 6, is just one in a long history of the program which has been running for more than 40 years.

The parent-free, volunteer-run program is for children in prep to year six, and aims to give attendees an understanding of what police do and who they are.

The event runs from 6-8pm and tickets are $8, which need to be purchased online, and there’ll be a free sausage sizzle too.

“Everyone can come in their disco outfits, whatever they want to come in, bring some glow sticks and everything,” Mr McTaggart said.

“They can just have a good time.”
