Hot Spot: Joy O'Clock

From 16—18 Sep, Federation Square will become pretty in purple when Cadbury sets up for their Joy O'Clock festival — celebrating chocolate, of course! But it also asks us to reflect on the little things that bring us joy in our everyday lives — because we all know we could use a pick-me-up in the arvo every now and then.

There will be a bunch on fun activities happening, a DJ and live entertainment, free tea and coffee, hundreds of thousands of chocolates to be given away to the lucky choc fans, and a Joy O'Clock surprise at 3.30pm each day. That's definitely an antidote to three-thirty-itis.

It all kicks off Wednesday 16 Sep at 2pm.
