Get Ready to celebrate the Lane Cove Festival by the River between 1-14 November 2021
The festival is two weeks of activities along foreshores, in parks and on the doorsteps of community groups that call the river home. Unfortunately due to COVID19 the Food and Wine Festival (which is usually the biggest event of the festival) will not take place this year, but Lane Cove Council promise it will be back in 2022.
However, there will be a range of activations such as the FrogID talk, Taronga Zoomobile visit, HarbourCare cleanup, Saltwater Country event and a movie screening at the Burns Bay Reserve.
