Lake Caroline will burst into life on Saturday March 26 with the return of the Lakeside Alive festival.
From 12pm to 8pm, attendees will be treated to a range of family-friendly performances and activities, including a drumming and hula play space for the kids, a bevy of buskers and a range of food trucks.

The popular event last ran in 2019 but was cancelled in 2020 and 2021 due to COVID-19 restrictions.
Melton mayor Goran Kesic said he was looking forward to having this vibrant event return to the city of Melton.
“It’s the perfect Saturday afternoon activity – delicious food, free entertainment and stroll along
the lake,” Cr Kesic said.
“Having something like this in your own backyard is such a treat, so I’d encourage everyone to
check it out and join in the fun.”
Council is encouraging attendees to bring their own picnic rug and and chairs to enjoy the day in comfort.
The event will also feature a range of live entertainment, including The Hardies Hilllbillies, multi-instrumentalists Los Parceros.
