How magical - the festive community event, Lights on the Lake will take place, once again this year, on the shores of Currimundi Lake in Crummunda Park, Wurtulla.

Lights on the Lake is a fun outing for the whole family held in such a stunning location, right on the banks of Currimundi Lake. All the fun starts at 4.00 in the afternoon with music and entertainment right through to the evening. Supervised children's activities are all happening during this time i.e. from 4.00pm to 6.00pm. Why not try your hand at beating out a rhythm in the free drumming circle?



Get a group of friends and family together, bring a picnic blanket and hamper to set up on the grassed area to watch the fun on stage or alternatively, keep a lookout towards the Lake, where the decorated and lit kayaks and canoes join the water parade from dusk. Last year there were thirty-two individual festooned watercraft with sixty-eight paddlers. The boat light decorations were bigger, brighter and more creative than ever before, ensuring the lake exploded into a kaleidoscope of rainbow colours! So, you can only imagine what 2018 Lights on the Lake has in store for us - bigger, better and definitely more colourful!



There is so much on offer at Lights on the Lake! Local artists will be displaying (and selling) affordable and original work at the arts and crafts stalls. Another perfect opportunity to get some last-minute Christmas shopping done, especially with the range of unique and handcrafted gifts on offer. Local artists will love and totally appreciate your support!



How exciting! The jolly ol' man, dressed in red - you know the one that we all love! That's right, Santa, our favourite person from up North, will be arriving at about 6.00pm from across the lake. I suspect he's leaving his reindeer at home this time around, as they definitely prefer snow to water! Santa will be arriving to visit the children….ho, ho, ho, here's hoping we've all been good boys and girls this year and get to share in Santa's sack full of lollies!

Besides the excitement of Santa's arrival, what else is there for the children to do? The children get to participate in the drumming circle, painting, planting, playing, swimming, singing, dancing, riding bikes, listening to music, paddling boats and jumping to the laser light show. Enough entertainment to ensure all that excess energy gets put to good use.
