The Wonders of Water Full Moon Arts Celebration will be held at Avoca Beach on November 16.

Presented by Heartdancers, LikeMinds and Plastic Free Avoca, the free, family-friendly event will be a full-moon celebration of water’s essential role in art, culture and community.

Part of The Lakes Festival, it will feature immersive experiences that highlight water’s beauty, importance and role in connecting us all.

An immersive art experience will see dynamic dance, music, storytelling, clowning and visual arts that celebrate water.

A cultural exploration will give meaningful insights into Central Coast First Nations’ relationship with salt and freshwater, presented by Tim Selwyn from Girri Girra Aboriginal Experiences.

An experimental artistic collaboration will feature Marina Da Silva, GabzaK, Hilton Denis, Sophia Ndaba, Magdalena Mira, Michael St George, Alicia Gonzalez, and Tygua, creating water inspired pieces that push the boundaries of artistic expression.

Attendees will learn about water’s critical role in the ecosystem and why its conservation is essential for the future.

Artists and community members will unite to create something beautiful, strengthening bonds through shared appreciation of water.

“We hope attendees will leave inspired to reconsider their relationship with water, recognising its beauty, importance and the need to protect it,” a spokesperson said.

The event will offer enriching experiences for all age groups with local vendors providing food for purchase.

The event is financially supported by The Lakes Festival 2024 and Creative Art Central, Central Coast Council.

Healthy Waters, Healthy Communities will be held from 4pm-8pm on Saturday, November 16, at Avoca Beach Scout Hall, 352 The Round Dr, Avoca Beach.
