TOURS through Frankston will proceed as part of the Big Picture Fest this weekend.

The Block Party event to kick off the festival was cancelled last week in response to COVID-19 concerns. Council confirmed this week that the street tours would still go ahead, but urged the need for “social distancing”.

Nine new murals have been completed across Frankston’s city centre. Artist Mark Taylor said “this is the best festival in the world. In the first year, it just blew me away.”

“I have this thing with water at the moment and I think it is because of the place we’re in and its connection to the sea,” he said about his artwork Submerge, which has been completed in Thompson Lane.
