Glowing boats and festive cheer will light up Crummunda Park as the much-loved Lights on the Lake festival returns to Currimundi Lake on Sunday 8 December.

This community festival is run entirely by volunteers with support from Sunshine Coast Council and sponsorship from Caloundra Community Bendigo Bank Branch, NABIS Dredging and several other local businesses.

The event is all about festive, family fun, with a focus on environmental sustainability.

Lights on the Lake attendees will enjoy creative kids’ arts and crafts, a kids’ disco, face painting, live performances from local entertainers on the Caloundra Community Bendigo Bank Branch stage, a drumming circle, Indigenous weaving workshop and food stalls.

The ever-popular learning vans will be there, including Turtle Care and Council’s Discovery Van.

A highlight each year is the NABIS Dredging Water Parade of decorated watercraft paddling around Currimundi Lake at nightfall.

If you bring your canoe or kayak decorated with festive lights, you might win the contest for the best decorated watercraft.

The evening will end with a laser light show from the main stage
