THERE is bound to be something for everyone to enjoy at the Cronulla Spring Festival this weekend.The annual two-day event which starts today marks the start of spring will have a range of attractions to suit all tastes.

Shops and cafes within Cronulla Plaza will be open with spring festival specials.

Sutherland Shire dance troupes and tribute bands will provide the live entertainment at the Pavilion stage on both days.

Acts will include The Beatnix, FABBA, The Jive Bombers and The Kamis.

Also taking the stage will be demonstrators from Zumba By the Bay, Dos Taekwondo and Kinetic Martial Arts.

There will be a special performance by St Aloysius Primary School, Cronulla — the first act on stage on Sunday morning.

Pupils from kindergarten to year 6 will perform a smaller version of their recent piece entered at Wakakirri Story Dance — a national story sharing arts festival.

Children can learn how to use a hoop, juggle or create jewellery at Monro Park, Cronulla.
