Oakdale, you've really stepped up your game with #Tututuesday! You've brought the community together with a common thread - our love for tutus. I'm always so impressed with how the tutu trend has captured everyone's imaginations and injected this vibrant splash of colour and individuality into Oakdale!


From the Ballerina’s Point of View

Let's be honest, tutus are a powerful symbol, aren’t they? For me, the tutu is a reminder of childhood dreams and a whole lot of hard work and dedication. Seeing so many people embracing the tutu reminds me that dance, just like the tutu, transcends any barriers, bringing together all sorts of different people. Plus, when was the last time you wore a tutu and didn't feel completely joyful?!

Here's a glimpse into Oakdale’s Tutu Tuesday festivities:
  • Every week, the town square transforms into a magical wonderland, with vendors offering everything from handcrafted tutus to fairy wings and even delicious, tutu-shaped cupcakes!
  • The local library is hosting free ballet workshops for the youngsters! It's truly inspiring to see so many little ones expressing themselves through dance.
  • The cafes and restaurants get into the spirit too, offering special Tutu Tuesday deals like the “Swan Lake" cocktail or a "Pink Pointe” parfait, because what’s a good day of tutus without some delicious treats!
