Enjoy a fun day out at Lakeside Alive

Published on 07 February 2025

Lakeside Alive returns to Caroline Springs for another fun-filled family day out by the lake.

Get your family and friends together and head to Lake Caroline on Saturday 15 March for a day of free entertainment including roving performers, market stalls, live music and fireworks.

Keep the kids entertained with a silent disco, African drumming workshop, face painting, giant bubbles, art and craft activities, and the chance to meet our local emergency service heroes.

Browse art, jewellery and clothing by local artisans at the market stalls, while being enthralled by the amazing talents of the roving stilt walkers, fire twirlers, chalk artists and more.

You can satisfy your hunger at the range of food trucks serving yummy treats or grab a bite at one of the delicious local eateries surrounding the lake.

Chill out to some live music on the main stage, with Australian indie-folk duo Pierce Brothers back from touring the world to headline the event.

Then, sit back and relax at the end of the day and enjoy the twilight fireworks spectacular over the lake.

Lakeside Alive runs from 12:30pm to 8:30pm. To find out more, visit melton.vic.gov.au/lakesidealive.
