The Love Lennox Festival returns on Saturday, June 14, transforming the heart of the town into a buzzing celebration of everything we love about Lennox Head.
This year’s program is expected to draw more than 10,000 locals and visitors. There wil be a huge array of market stalls, live music acts including The Mumblers, Colliflowers, The Gumboots, Serendipiti, JB’s Blues Breakers, and Lily Grace Grant – there will also be the Flavours of Lennox tasting competition, and a variety of kids’ activities and entertainment across the day.
The popular Dogly Fun Show will also return, bringing smiles to animal lovers, young and old, and new to the program is an early morning surf session, starting on the grass in front of the Lennox pub in partnership with Surf Getaways and Lets Go Surfing. The free pre- registered event includes surf lessons and a guided paddle out – the perfect start to the day.
A celebration of everything that makes Lennox special
Vice President of Business Lennox Head and Co-Director of the festival, Alexander Sharkey, says the Love Lennox Festival is a celebration of everything that makes our town special. ‘We’re proud to deliver a day that connects the community, supports local businesses and invites visitors to experience the best of Lennox.’
The festival is made possible thanks to the generous support of local sponsors, including Club Lennox Sports, Ballina Shire Council, and joining this year is international sponsor Airbnb.
Country Manager of Airbnb Australia and New Zealand, Susan Wheeldon, says Airbnb hosts are locals who want to help people explore and enjoy the best their community has to offer. ‘We hope our support will help more people celebrate and enjoy what makes this festival such a special event.’
A free event
Entry is free, and festivalgoers are encouraged to walk or ride their bikes to the event. Ballina Street will be closed from 8am to 5pm on the day.
The full festival program can be found online and at key locations throughout Lennox in the lead-up to the event.
