SUTHERLAND Shire Council is bringing all the glitz and glamour of the Rat Pack era to Cronulla on Australia Day with Swing! Live on the Sands.
Hear Peter Cousens, Dale Burridge, David Melak and leading lady Danielle Everett pay tribute to the sophisticated 1950s cabaret era.
Accompanied by a bevy of Viva Cronulla Showgirls, they will revive the smooth sounds of Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin and Sammy Davis jnr, with their famous wisecracking attitude and sensational dance routines.
Dressed in dapper dinner suits and an array of slinky gowns, they will bring timeless tunes to life with the help of the John Morrison swing band and take you on an energetic trip down memory lane.
The show begins at 7.45pm and runs until the fireworks extravaganza at 9.30pm live on the stage in Cronulla Park on Australia Day.
There are plenty of other activities to keep you and the family busy on the day including:
