The Love Lennox Festival is on this weekend and is a fun-filled day of music, art, performances, local business specials, and family-friendly activities.

This Saturday, 14 June will see the heart of Lennox transformed into a buzzing celebration of everything everyone loves about Lennox Head.

There will 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.

Road closures 

Road closures will start from 6am as organisers get the events and fun prepared until 8pm when everything is returned to normal. Road closures will include: 

  • Ballina Street (from Lennox Hotel Bottle Shop drive-through to Park Lane) will be closed in both directions, with no vehicle access or street parking.
  • Rayner Lane will only be accessible to residents. Access with no through traffic. 
  • Byron Street (from just past Park Lane to Ballina Street) will also be closed to reduce foot traffic congestion.
