“We are looking forward to providing a fun-filled and healthy day with lots of activities and learning. I know the young people of Tennant Creek and surrounds are counting down to the event as well as the Vibe crew and role models,” he says.
Hosted by actor Luke Carroll, the event features a 3on3 basketball tournament, rapping and break dancing lessons, art workshops, a dance competition and a health expo, all accompanied by a backing track of the latest RnB, hip hop and Indigenous music.
