Lake Mac Women in Sport Festival

Lake Mac Women in Sport Festival

Join us for the annual Women in Sport Festival from 7-16 March 2025 for a week of fun activities which empower young girls and women in sport.

It all kicks off on Friday 7 March from 6-9pm at Music in the Podium, Warners Bay Foreshore.

An all-women line up will rock the foreshore, along side local sporting groups who provide you the chance to come and try a new sport – tennis, rugby, croquet or aikido.

The Try a Sport expo is designed to allow local community members the chance to come and try or get a taste of the sports on offer within the LGA.  Additionally, sign up to participate in events throughout the week of the festival you can held by these sporting groups and check out the sport or club and make a new connection!

What is the festival about?

The Festival is a week-long celebration of women and sport, tied together by five themes:

  • Empowerment
  • Advocacy
  • Athletic excellence
  • Community and wellbeing

The Festival is designed to:
