The Bridge Walk will start at Korners Park (north eastern side of the brdige) at 4:30pm.
This will not affect traffic crossing the Batemans Bay Bridge. Anyone that crosses the bridge between 4:30pm and 6:30pm will go into the draw to win a gift voucher from one of our very generous local businesses: Village Centre & Bridge Plaza, Saltwater Dream Surf Shop, Surf The Bay Surf School or JJ's at The Marina. Live bands will begin playing on the Batemans Bay foreshore from 5:30pm to 8:30pm.
Thanks to Bay Removals for the sponsorship of the stage!
At 8:30pm Mosaic Fire will be letting off fireworks from a barge on the Clyde River! This barge is proudly sponsored by the Batemans Bay Marina and Bay Mooring and Barge Service.
A big shout out goes to Eurobodalla Shire Council, Batemans Bay Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Rotary Batemans Bay and Coachhouse Marina Resort for their sponsorship and/or time in given to organise this community event! We look forward to seeing everyone from 4:30pm on Saturday!
Today you can walk across the bridge from 4.30pm to 6.30pm and receive a certificate, enjoy live music on the foreshore and follow it up with fireworks at 8.30pm.
