Love Lanes Festival to return in April

Wyong’s Love Lanes festival is back on the calendar after a rise in COVID cases has seen the event postponed from February to April.

Going ahead on April 8 Love Lanes, delivered by Central Coast Council and Club Wyong, will bring the town alive through a mixture of entertainment and open-air dining.

This year there will be live music and entertainment on four stages, roving street performers, food and market stall plus a kids’ zone, circus performers, art installations and more.

There will also be guided tours along the Wyong Heritage Trail.

Festivities kick off at 4pm and run until 9pm.

Registrations are essential for guided walking tours and can be made on event day at the Wyong Family History Group stall located in Lee Academy Park.

There will be road closures across Wyong to cater for the event.

They include: Alison Rd, Bakers Lane, Rankens Court, Peters Lane, Hely St and Robley’s Lane from 6am to 11pm.

The 2019 Love Lanes event attracted approximately 15,000 festival goers and injected over $1.1M into the local economy.

Central Coast Council Administrator Rik Hart said that Love Lanes is a chance to discover Wyong’s hidden gems and immerse the whole family in the buzz of this unique outdoor festival.

 “The festival will transform Wyong’s heritage laneways and town park into an exciting hub of art, culture and culinary experiences,” Mr Hart said.
