Every November, the Central Coast’s beloved Lakes Festival returns — and The Entrance is right at the heart of the action. Spanning 10 days and multiple locations around Tuggerah Lakes, this festival is all about celebrating our stunning waterways with a mix of fun, free, and family-friendly events.
The Lakes Festival is a community-wide celebration that showcases the natural beauty of the Central Coast’s lakes, from The Entrance to Long Jetty and beyond. Expect everything from fireworks and food trucks to paddle boarding, live music, and art displays. Whether you’re after a laid-back afternoon picnic or a vibrant night by the water, the festival has something for everyone.
The festival is packed with activities the whole family can enjoy — from toddlers dancing to live music in the park, to teens taking part in water sports or art installations. Plus, it’s a great way to experience the local community, with many events free or low-cost.
