Love is in the air for the ninth annual Love Lanes Festival in Wyong

Love is well and truly in the air again, with Love Lanes Festival returning to Wyong on Saturday 7 February 2026 from 4-9pm.

Coinciding with Valentine’s Day, it’s only natural that love is the theme of the event. Love for your community. Love for your people. We could all do with more love in our lives! Love Lanes is an evening street festival showcasing one of the Central Coast’s most exciting destinations – Wyong – in all her glory.

Set across four lanes, five stages and Wyong Town Centre, this Central Coast street festival transforms the heart of Wyong into a lantern-lit playground of live music, art, performances, food, market stalls and family fun. Picture yourself meandering through the laneways, hand-in-hand with those you love, while soaking up the sights, sounds, colours and vibes of summer love.

Love Lanes Festival Wyong 2026 | Wild at Heart

Wyong’s Love Lanes Festival will be sure to delight you. From Motel Mezza’s balcony to the Chapman Building’s lawn, Wyong comes alive for one big summer evening. Wander between the Bendigo Bank Main Stage and Musicians Making A Difference (MMAD) stages to sky-high aerial performances, laneway art installations, community murals, Brazilian drumming jam party, DJ and freestyle workshops, flower tattoos, sensory activities, love-themed poetry slam… put it this way, there’ll be plenty of wholesome mems being made here. Plus Insta-worthy photo moments galore. Don’t forget to tag the people you love (and us @coastiesmag) and share your snaps using #lovelanesfestival.

Spoil yourself and your love this Valentine’s Day by supporting local with a little retail therapy at the love-ly array of market stalls. There’ll be everything on offer from clothing, jewellery, art and homewares, to sweet treats, street food & drinks to keep you going all night. Or head to Yes Lane to renew your vows if you’re feeling the luuurve.

While Love Lanes is a perfect way to celebrate Val’s Day with the one you love, it’s about love in every form, which means it’s a totally family-friendly event. So, expect heaps on offer to keep the kidlets occupied. Look out for the free rock climbing wall for the teens, the Wyong Baptist Church Kidz Zone offering free activities for the little ones, and Wyong Fire & Rescue for that must-do fire truck photo. Or slow things down in the Coastwide First National Chill Out Zone (yes, there’ll be bean bags!).

Live music rolls right through the evening across multiple stages, with plenty of live tunes across the stages from the likes of local Coastie singer/songwriter Alana Suzanne, Ama, Cheeky Leash and Kira Puru to sit back and relax to. Check out the sustainable, solar-powered Artistry on Wheels Wonder Stage for interactive workshops and live performances, then enjoy music & dance from Lee Academy in Wyong Town Park.

Now in its ninth year, Love Lanes Festival has well and truly earned its place as one of the Central Coast’s most anticipated summer events. It’s colourful, inclusive, family-friendly and packed with reasons to linger well after sunset. Presented by Central Coast Council and proudly supported by a stack of local partners – including yours truly at Coasties Mag (we’re thrilled to be an event partner again) – Love Lanes 2026 is not to be missed.
