The Anzac Sleep-Out is shaping up to be a memorable experience which captures the essence of remembrance for young people and families.
Dubbo City Council Youth Development Officer Jason Yelverton said the Dubbo City Youth Council wanted to put on a special event that would encourage young people to take an active part in the commemorative services of the Anzac Centenary.
"In the spirit of those people that travel to Gallipoli for the dawn service here is a chance for young people from in and around Dubbo to sleep under the stars and be part of one of Australia's most important historical events," Mr Yelverton said.
All tickets are just $5 plus booking fee.
"We are inviting people to bring their swags or sleeping bags and mats to sleep under the stars before joining the Anzac Day Dawn Service at the cenotaph," Mr Yelverton said.
"Throughout the night there will be plenty of activities including live music, a series of short and feature length films and displays of war memorabilia.
"We are expecting a large crowd, hopefully in the order of 3000 people to attend," he said. "I strongly encourage people to purchase tickets early to be part of this very special event."
The 2015 Centenary of Anzac Regional Sleep-Out will be held at Victoria Park No. 1 Oval at Dubbo from 4pm, Friday, April 24, culminating in the Anzac Day Dawn Service at 5.45am on Saturday, April 25, which coincides with the landings at Gallipoli 100 years ago.
This event is a completely smoking, drug and alcohol free event. Under 18s must be accompanied by a responsible adult.
