Despite the high 30 degree temperatures blanketing the outer eastern suburbs on Sunday 4 February, Lilydale Township Action Group’s first music event was a hit.

Big Day at the Lake was the premier event for LTAG at Lillydale Lake, bringing together music, kids entertainment and activities.

With appearances from Fiction Cover Band, Anthony Gerace, Eesha Elephant and Paw Patrol’s Chase, there was something for everyone to see and enjoy.

The appreciated the effort the volunteers put in to bring this event to life, especially during the heat.

“What a great team, you are all so dedicated and we are so proud of you and the work you do. You make Lilydale a better place to live in…thank you,” one person said.

“Thanks for a lovely afternoon, such a happy vibe,” another person commented.

Lead organiser, LTAG secretary Sharyn Manning, told Star Mail last year the idea behind Big Day was to bring life to the summer holiday period and launch into 2024 utilising the incredible space at Lillydale Lake.

“A few years ago the holiday period would have been dead, with not much happening at all,” she said.

Because of the heat, the splash park was also a big drawcard for families.
