Join in the Moomba fun! Parade down St. Kilda Street in Melbourne, Australia, with trams decorated for the celebration.
1.
The Moomba Festival, which takes place in early March in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, is a citywide, 4-day festival. The word Moomba probably comes from an Australian Aboriginal word. This celebration is 4F–-family, fun, festive, and free--every year. The Yarra River is one highlight of the occasion with water sport competitions and shows. A tram parade is another one.
2.
What is a tram? Streetcars, trolleys, and trams are all similar types of transportation. Did trams run in your area? Find out about various types of energy used to power trams. At the Moomba tram parade, there are even pedal-powered trams.
3.
Choose a theme that captures one of the 4 Fs of Moomba. Decorate a cardboard box with Crayola® Gel Markers. If the box has lettering on it, first cover it with paper using Crayola Glue Sticks. Make colorful designs and show the celebrating passengers. Add festive details with Crayola Glitter Glue, feathers, or other collage materials. Air-dry the glue.
