Rug up this winter and enjoy Float Your Boat- an open competition for boat owners to dress their boats with lights and take part in a flotilla parade for cash prizes.

Held on the beautiful Lake Macquarie, spectators will line the shores to watch boats in a rainbow of colour cruise past before casting their vote for the Newcastle Permanent People’s Choice Award for a chance to win a Lake Macquarie Cruises family pass 'Lunch on the Lake Cruise' .

Join in on the family fun at the live sites which include live music, roaming illuminated performances, entertainment, children's activities and food trucks.
