Central Coast Council has a jam-packed events calendar for the local community and visitors to enjoy, during the spring and summer months. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Whilst the events calendar has had some changes over the last few years, Council\u2019s flagship events will return with favourites such as The Lakes Festival which is currently underway, Love Lanes, and Flavours by the Sea. This also includes much-loved community events such as New Year\u2019s Eve at The Entrance, and Australia Day at Gosford celebrations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Council Unit Manager Community and Culture, Glenn Cannard said the spring and summer months are set to provide an exciting event offering, with an eclectic mix of entertainment and activities for locals and visitors to enjoy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEvents are an important part of our community framework, providing opportunity for residents, businesses, local creatives and visitors to connect,\u201d Mr Cannard said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe also had a number of Event Expressions of Interest (EOI’s) go to market this year, allowing businesses and local community groups to submit their ideas to get involved and help take our local events to the next level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDue to the pandemic and also the extreme weather conditions experienced on the Central Coast, we have missed the opportunity to come together with our friends, family and neighbours over the past few years. The upcoming event season offers us all the chance to once again celebrate why we continue to live, work and play on the Central Coast.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Council Administrator, Rik Hart said it is great to watch local events continue to grow, with the input of ideas and participation from residents and businesses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOur local events continue to get bigger and better, putting the Central Coast on the map as a favourable destination to visit,\u201d Mr Hart said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cGiven that a number of Council\u2019s major events are happening this spring and summer, we will undoubtedly see an increase in visitors to our region which brings with it an important economic boost for local businesses.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
