Running from 10am – 2pm, the Family Fun Hub will be a free event where the Community can view the Baton as it makes its way into the Stadium with official speeches and ceremonies. There will be kid’s zones, live music, roving entertainers, picnic hampers and picnic areas where people can sit back and enjoy the entertainment.
