Somerset’s cool pool party fun
Join Somerset Council in celebrating the Aussie way with free family friendly entertainment at the Australia Day Pool Parties, held Sunday, 26 January.
Somerset Mayor Jason Wendt said the pool parties were the perfect way to beat the heat this summer.
“We’re always excited to host the Australia Day Pool Parties because it’s a great opportunity for young families to come together, celebrate and create new memories,” Cr Wendt said.
“This Council event is completely free, including the pool entry, entertainment and the community-run barbecue.”
The pool parties will be held from 10am to 4pm, with entertainment from 10am to 2pm.
Magic Glen will bring his balloons, bubbles and magic to Kilcoy Aquatic Centre, DJ Bex will keep the party pumping at Lowood Swimming Pool and there will be Australia Day Games and Races at Toogoolawah Swimming Pool.
“This is always a brilliant event for the community and we hope you can celebrate Australia Day with us,” Cr Wendt said.
“Remember to stay sun safe and bring your sunscreen, as well as towels, picnic blankets and your best mates.”

Council has a range of activities for the little ones in January 2025 including library bag painting, key ring craft, kaleidoscope making, tech and robotics, jewellery making, and movies with popcorn.
