Get ready for splashing fun!
Get your mates and grab your towel and togs – Moreton Bay’s biggest pool party, the beloved Aussie Arvo at Lawnton Aquatic Centre, is making a splash once again in January 2025.
Thanks to a $23,000 grant from City of Moreton Bay, the free event is back and hotter than ever, celebrating its ninth year as the ultimate summer event on Sunday, January 26 from 2pm.
The free day of fun will include live music, cornhole and water balloon competitions and lots of splashing fun in the pool.
Mayor Peter Flannery said the event is all about supporting affordable fun for families and friends looking for a relaxed, sun soaked day out.
“Council is proud to continue supporting this fantastic community event and to partner with Lawnton Swim Club in delivering inclusive, affordable entertainment and recreation at the Lawnton Aquatic Centre,” he said.
“It’s the perfect way to make a splash at the start of the year. Whether you’re there for the laughs, the sizzle, or the splashing, the popular Aussie Arvo promises an unforgettable day for all.”
Councillor Yvonne Barlow (Div 7) said Aussie Arvo is the perfect way to beat the summer heat.
“There’s nothing better than cooling off by the pool, and Aussie Arvo is the best place to do it,” Cr Barlow said.
“Thousands of locals and visitors join us every year, and we’re thrilled to support Lawnton Swim Club in delivering such a fantastic event.”
Councillor Jim Moloney (Div 8) praised the Lawnton Aquatic Centre as the ideal venue for Aussie Arvo.
“It’s a fantastic facility, with everything from a 50m lap pool to a toddler splash pool and play area,” Cr Moloney said.
“The Aussie Arvo is a great event where the whole family can join in. With free entry, live music and of course the popular cornhole and water balloon competitions, it’s set to be a blast for everyone.”
