Greater Shepparton City Council is inviting the community to come along for a twilight stroll, leaving from either Shepparton or Mooroopna, to SPC Ardmona KidsTown on Friday 30 March.
The Greater Shepparton Healthy Communities project will also be launched at KidsTown. Melbourne Vixen and Victorian Fury Player Kathleen Knott will be attending the stroll and will be helping to launch Get moving Greater Shepparton as an ambassador for the program.
Registration for the free event is from 5pm and the stroll starts at 5.30pm, with shuttle buses available for the return trip, from 6.30pm.
Participants can leave either from Chinaman's Gardens in Mooroopna or from Aquamoves.
The twilight stroll is part of the Greater Shepparton on the Moove strategy which encourages Greater Shepparton residents to get out and get active as part of the Council's Public Health Plan.
Council's Leisure Facilities Officer David Quinn said there would be entertainment for the whole family at KidsTown.
"The twilight stroll is a fantastic way for families to get active together," Mr Quinn said.
"When arriving at KidsTown, there will be live music and a barbecue dinner, as well a jumping castle for the kids, face painting and miniature train rides, all provided free of charge.
"All members of the family can take part - the kids can bring along their bikes or scooters and parents can bring small children in prams.
"It's only a short stroll through the bush to KidsTown, approximately 2km, so anyone with any level of fitness can participate.
"It's simply Council helping to connect the community and getting people out and about and enjoying our walking paths and facilities."
Participants are encouraged to bring a picnic blanket to relax on and enjoy the entertainment.
