Light Up the Lake is back for 2025, and the line-up this year is fantastic. The acts this year are
• Ruby Fields (NSW)
• Dear Sunday (WA)
• Dizzy Days (QLD)
• Chloe Parché (NSW)
• Elaskia (NSW)

As well as their fantastic tunes and performances, there will be fun activities, roaming performers and lots of food to choose from across the evening. Plus, once it’s dark, catch the fireworks show!

Memorial Park has accessible toilets and changing facilities, accessible play spaces, accessible parking and good connections to shops and restaurants along Waterfront Plaza. And if you need it, there will be a mobile sensory room with an occupational therapist helping throughout the event.

Check out delicious meals and sweet treats from local food trucks as well as the many restaurant options at The Entrance. This means there should be something for everyone!

For the adults, there’s a good selection of alcohol available in the 18+ licensed area that has limited capacity, and 18+ means 18+!

There will be roving LED performers shimmering with magical colour and sparkle. They’ll be gliding through the crowd, towering on stilts and creating unforgettable moments for everyone to see.

Kids bored? Check out all the cool stuff for kids this year. There’s craft, pebble painting, and you can even build a colourful windmill. They can get their face painted and have fun with messy play. And for the little adventurers, let them burn off that energy at the Mega Play Climbing Centre before taking a break with the sensory play. Disabled guests and anyone who needs it can access the mobile sensory room to reset after so much excitement.
