Summer celebrations to peak

LAKESIDE Pakenham’s summer celebrations will come to a peak this Saturday 29 January as they host the Splendour By The Lake event as part of the summer ‘Live It Up’ festival.
Local Melbourne rock, funk and jazz band Robot Child will be a highlight, fronted by Triple M’s Peanut Gallery radio host Jeff Wortman and Waleed Aly, renowned academic and ABC774 radio host.
Drawing on influences from Pink Floyd, Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Muse, Radiohead and a little jazz, Robot Child will deliver a sound, presence and aesthetic unique to them.
The night will kick off with the Tip Top Tom Magic Show, followed by Ben 10 and will end on a high note with the Gaga Magic tribute show.
Delfin Lend Lease Project director Sharon Coates said the night was set to be a highlight in the community’s summer festival calendar.
“We have ensured there is something for everyone at the Splendour By The Lake event, from live music to paddle boats, free rides and giveaways for the kids,” Ms Coates said.
“We are looking forward to seeing residents and visitors to Lakeside Pakenham enjoy our summer celebrations.”
Festivities will start at 6pm.
