Ms Bailey is grateful for this important major sponsor, which she says helps to ensure Love Lennox goes ahead.

“We would also like to express our gratitude to Mayor Sharon Cadwallader for her unwavering support of local community events. Her efforts helping to secure sponsorship have made it possible to move forward .”

Ms Bailey said next weekend’s mini festival, 100 Club is the final step in ensuring Love Lennox is not only happening, but really pumping.

Lloyd Morris from Paradise FM will be the MC and there will be live music, The Mumblers, as part of the event.  

“The Love Lennox festival is brought to life by Business Lennox Head.  It is a celebration to acknowledge the local businesses that give Lennox it’s identity, and for the businesses to give back to the locals.”

“Powered by passionate volunteers, we’re not an outside events company. We’re locals, working hard all year round to support our community, promote local businesses, and create a space where connection, creativity, and good vibes thrive,” Ms Bailey said.
