About this event

What to expect

Lord Howe Island was discovered on 17th February 1788 by Lieutenant Henry Lidgbird Ball, Commander of the armed tender of the First Fleet, HMS Supply.

In previous years tourists are welcomed to join the local community in celebrating the discovery of the Island each year with track and field events for all ages.

Don't miss the slow bike ride, three-legged race and various relay races.

The P & C runs a food stall on the night for those who wish to dine otherwise bring a picnic and a rug.
