The night before Australia Day

Woy Woy's Australia Day activities will take place the night before, and will feature fireworks and dancing in the streets.

They will be held at Anderson Park opposite Woy Woy Wharf, starting at 6pm with entertainment from the award winning Brisbane Water Secondary College student band For The Moment.

Music will be provided for bush dancing by Sydney's longest surviving bush band, Ryebuck.

All dances will be walked through and will be called during the dance itself.

No experience will be necessary.

The Troubadour Folk Club will present a free concert in the CWA Hall from 8pm featuring local and guest performers.

Some of these performers will also appear during dance breaks.

Children's games and activities will be organised for the evening and will take place in the enclosed grounds adjacent to the CWA Hall.

Children's rides and entertainment will include a mega slide, the Harry Potter wizard ride, a jumping castle and a small merry-go-round.

A fireworks display will start at 9.30pm and birthday cake will be distributed to all present.

A wide variety of food and drink stalls will operate from 5pm.

Central Coast tall ship, the STS Wutuku, will be moored at the wharf and will be open for inspection.

It will depart for Sydney that evening and then go on to Hobart.
