The picturesque surrounds of the Point Lonsdale Lighthouse Reserve will again be the backdrop for one of the Borough’s best local grassroots music events this February.

Point Lonsdale Boardriders Club’s Lighthouse Party festival returns on February 10 and is slated to be a fun day of non-stop entertainment for both the younger and older generations.

Post punk quartet Radio Free Alice will be lighting up the stage on February 10.

 

The music event is the club’s biggest annual fundraiser and will raise vital funds to run water and power to its clubhouse facilities.

The event will feature hours of live entertainment, with Australian indie rockers Scott and Charlene’s Wedding, post punk quartet Radio Free Alice, Baby Blue, Flesh Cherub and DJ extraordinaries Milo Eastwood, Ollie Holmes and Matteo all on the event bill.

Food trucks and beverage vendors will also be on hand to whet the appetite.

The Lighthouse Party is staged under the Point Lonsdale Lighthouse.

 

Point Lonsdale Boardriders Club president Max Lazarus said tickets were selling like hot cakes for the club’s biggest annual fundraiser.

“We can’t wait to have a boogie and return for our fifth anniversary of this great community event.

“The event provides a great cash injection for the club and will no doubt help us to increase our offering to the community.

“We’ve got the best location, and the best music, so it’s certainly going to be a cracker and something our younger generations, and older demographic can get around.”

DJ groovemaster Milo Eastwood will sling some tracks at the 2024 Lighthouse Party.

 

Mr Lazarus said additional funds may also be directed toward keeping the club’s membership fees as low as possible.

“We have relatively low joining fees, which are in part due to our ability to fundraise at events like this one,” he said.

“We also use some of it to buy pizzas and food for our judges at our events, and to enter teams’ titles events which help to grow the club.

“An event like the Lighthouse Party gives us the freedom to explore and spend where we see fit so we can benefit the community in as many ways as possible.”

Tickets to the Lighthouse Party can be found at Eventbrite.
