Discover the peaceful magic of a winter escape to Lakes Entrance!
While many think of coastal towns as a summer destination, Lakes Entrance truly shines in the cooler months. Imagine a serene escape where the hustle and bustle of the crowds have faded, replaced by crisp air, quiet beauty, and the warm welcome of our holiday village. Winter here is a time for cosy moments, spectacular events, and a chance to experience the region from a new perspective.
A peaceful retreat
Without the summer crowds, Lakes Entrance takes on a relaxed and tranquil atmosphere. It’s the perfect time for a truly restorative break, whether you're enjoying a quiet walk on the Ninety Mile Beach, a peaceful stroll along the foreshore, or simply a hot coffee overlooking the Gippsland Lakes. Our village provides a safe, serene base to unwind and recharge.
Incredible events during the cooler months
The cooler months in our region are a celebration of warmth and light, with spectacular events that bring a lively energy to the East Gippsland area as we transition from winter to spring:
- East Gippsland Winter Festival - This month-long festival is a local highlight, with events celebrating fire, light, food, and music throughout the region.
- Lakes Lights Lantern Parade - As part of the Winter Festival, the foreshore comes alive with a spectacular parade of light, creating a magical evening for all ages.
- Snowy River Sprint - A thrilling rally car race that takes place in September, marking the end of the cooler season with high-octane action.
- Lakes Entrance Rocktober - Get ready to rock 'n' roll with live music and dancing in October, as the town gears up for spring.
