Love is in the air in Wyong!
Consider your Valentine’s Day plans sorted Central Coast, ‘cause fan favourite local festival Love Lanes is back and we’ve got all the deets.
In its eighth year, the festival is set to showcase the Central Coast in its best light with the back lanes of Wyong set to come alive for one day only on Saturday, February 15, 2025 between 4pm and 9pm.
Coinciding with Valentine’s Day, Love Lanes will showcase a combination of colours, sounds and smells with the buzz, hype and vibe of an outdoor community street festival, encompassing one theme – love.
Proudly presented by Central Coast Council, locals are being encouraged to spread the love and get involved in the festival with roving entertainment, a circus precinct, fantastic food and market stalls – the list is endless!

Festival highlights include live music performances from Milana St Clair, Ruby and The Groovy Doobies, Micra and many more local and national artists on the Bendigo Bank Main Stage.
The fun doesn’t stop there with live jams, mini masterclasses and so much more from Musicians Making a Difference as well as performances from Lee Academy and other local community groups spread throughout the back lanes of Wyong.
Kids are covered for entertainment with a Kidz Zone offering an array of free activities, as well as a Teenage Zone with a free rock climbing wall.
Plus, yours truly – Star 104.5 – will be there from 4pm with plenty of love inspired games, photo props, craft workshops and plenty of activities and giveaways for the whole family.

Council Mayor Lawrie McKinna said the popular festival is the perfect occasion to come together and showcase the best of the Central Coast.
“Love Lanes Festival 2025 will transform Wyong’s laneways and town park for couples, families and visitors to experience the heart and soul of Wyong,” Mr McKinna said.
“It’s a chance for everyone to connect with the community, enjoy performing artists, support businesses in the Wyong town centre and create lasting memories.”
