Have a great time if you're heading to Moonlight on the Lake over the next few days. Parking is available nearby at Northstead Upper Car Park, Northstead Lower Car Park, Victoria Park and Marine drive. Well-behaved dog on leads welcome, however the event can be busy with high footfall, so owners should consider whether their dog will be comfortable in that environment. Visitors are encouraged to wear practical clothing and suitable footwear for an outdoor evening event.
