THE Tilligerry Community Association (TCA) is inviting families from across the region to celebrate all Dads this Father’s Day, at the free “Lemon Jam: Father’s Day edition”.
Set against the stunning backdrop of Henderson Park, Lemon Tree Passage, this fun-filled day of music and mateship will be held on Sunday 7 September from noon to 4pm.
Headlining the event will be the popular 4FX Band, hailing from Newcastle.
“This is our way of saying thank you to the Dads who give so much,” said Kylie Smiley from TCA.
“We’re looking forward to seeing families, neighbours, and friends enjoying the music, the sunshine, and a good old-fashioned sausage sanger together.”
“Lemon Jam” was created several years ago by Lemon Tree Passage musicians who wanted a regular musical “jam” session in the park.
Sadly, during COVID-19, the key performer passed away, sidelining Lemon Jam.
The TCA was formed in 2024 with a yearning to bring the community together as quickly as possible.
It is a not for profit organisation working for the community of the Tilligerry Peninsula.
Members organise events and community projects for the benefit of local businesses and the community.
The TCA canvassed locals who indicated they were missing the regular jam event and wished for its return.
Lemon Jam is now scheduled at least four times per year with local talent paid via Council’s community grants.
Entry is free and for all ages, with a TCA fundraising sausage sizzle, raffles and prizes generously donated by local businesses set in a relaxing, family-friendly atmosphere by the sea.
The invitation encourages you to bring your Dad or father figure, your best picnic gear, a chair or blanket, and your biggest smile for a day full of celebration and community spirit.
