On Saturday 21 March 2026, the fifth annual Music by the Lake event saw Lakelands come alive as over 200 residents gathered to relax, connect and soak up an incredible line-up of local talent.
From emerging performers taking the stage for the very first time, to crowd favourites delivering unforgettable sets, the day really showcased the depth of talent within our Lakelands community.
A standout moment was seeing young Jared, a first time performer and song writer, debut his original song after participating in the pre-event workshops. Dissonance, a group of talented teenagers, also blew the crowd away with their wall of sound delivering covers of Silverchair and Nirvana.
Beyond the music, families enjoyed face painting, planting activities with the Lakelands Community Graden and, of course, a well-earned ice cream.
Events like this are what community is all about – bringing people together, creating opportunities and fostering local pride.
Thank you to all those who attended, we look forward to seeing Music by the Lake continue to grow in the years ahead.
