The Peninsula Chamber of Commerce has affiliated with the 5 Lands Walk to bring jazz to the streets of Ettalong Beach over the weekend June 23-25.
“The 5 Lands Walk committee is excited to be expanding its hugely popular event to the Peninsula with entertainment from Friday night to Sunday,” Peninsula Mainstreet Co-ordinator Debra Wales said.
“This will include inviting artists to join the festivities on the waterfront.
“5 Lands will have transport available over the weekend via the Palm Beach Ferry to Wagstaffe and Busways services to each of the events.”
Wales said the Peninsula’s Weekend of Jazz would kick off on Friday night, June 23, at the Ettalong Diggers Club with an evening featuring Monica Trapaga and Dan Barnett, two of Australia’s finest jazz performers.
Tickets are now on sale for this exclusive show and can be booked through the Club website.
“Saturday will be the day of the 5 Lands Walk, an ever-growing event that attracts thousands of visitors to the Central Coast,” Wales said.
“Sunday brings us right back to Ettalong Beach for a day of jazz entertainment at The Galleria, Ettalong Beach, commencing at 10am with a young trio The Uprights and the Gloombusters.
“The afternoon will come alive with the beautiful Sarah Davies Trio live on the main stage at 1pm.
“Sarah is a jazz and soul vocalist with appearances on Australia’s Got Talent and The Voice.
“Performing on stage two will be The Coast Quartet featuring Paul Derricott on drums, Peter Koopman on guitar, Shannon Stitt on keys and Michael Avgenicos on the sax.
“To create a beautiful walk from the markets to the town centre, we are calling on artists to come to the Ettalong Beach foreshore reserve between Ferry Rd and Picnic Pde to show their talents and enjoy the beautiful ocean views to Lion Island.
“A very special prize of a relaxing facial sponsored by Glam Beauty with Trudy of Woy Woy will be presented to one artist who is painting on the foreshore and selected by our panel.
“This is an opportunity to enjoy the outdoors and take in the colours of Ettalong Beach.
“It is a free event and artists may choose to sell their paintings if they so wish.”
