It is always an incredible evening when our lake and foreshore comes to life at night. I love seeing our community come out in numbers and the beauty of Float Your Boat is that it's a mobile display, so whether you are at Warners Bay or Wangi Wangi, you'll enjoy the show.
On Friday night, the flotilla will make its way along the western side of the Lake, starting from Marmong Point Marina from 6pm and finishing at Wangi Wangi.
On Saturday night, the parade will head east from Marmong Point Marina around to Belmont.
There will also be live sites at Toronto this Friday night and Warners Bay on Saturday that will feature live music, food and entertainment. For details visit lakemac.com.au/float-your-boat.
Our city is beautiful at night and Float Your Boat makes use of the lake as the perfect stage.
The event activates our lake and brings to life our foreshore where thousands of people participate in the event.
More night-time events and activities are something that our community has raised during a host of community consultations over the past 18 months. Council has been working on a strategy to improve our night-time economy.
