Mark your calendars for Sunday, June 1, 2025, because from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., The Dip at the Peninsula Recreation Precinct in Umina Beach is where the action's at. The Words on the Waves Festival is throwing one of those family fun affairs that's more entertaining than watching your kids try to catch soap bubbles. And guess what? It's completely free, no need to book unless you're planning to reserve your spot in the crafts corner. Rain or shine, the show will go on, although if the heavens open up, don't be surprised if some activities get a little creative with the wet weather.

Hosted by the multi-talented Mick Elliott—who's not just an author and illustrator but also a TV producer—you can expect all sorts of merriment. Think storytime sessions that might just outshine your favourite bedtime tales, face painting that makes even the grumpiest kids crack a smile, and some crafty projects to get those little hands engaged. Plus, there's a line-up of fabulous authors and illustrators like Louise Park and Maxine Beneba-Clarke, who are bound to make an appearance. With facilities that are user-friendly and parking that should make your car happy, this celebration isn't just about books; it's about sparking a love for reading in youngsters across our lovely Central Coast. Come on over—you might just discover that reading can be even more fun than scrolling through your phone.
