Entertainment and a parade of boats provide an exciting afternoon, which concludes with fireworks after dark. For the young at heart a Teddy Bears Picnic is held in the Botanic Gardens on the first weekend of the festival. The fun continues on the following Friday Night with movies and more at the Pialba Seafront Oval . A regular festival event on Saturday night is the Electric Light Parade , which lights up the streets of Hervey Bay with illuminated floats, marching bands, and street entertainers. All ready for the 2000 parade is the Bay Connect float complete with its big switch.
Fireworks are a part of the festival always enjoyed by the crowds.
