We have waited as long as possible before deciding to postpone Lakeside 2021, in hopes that the COVID-19 situation in NSW would allow us to host a safe event, president, Ian Dobbie said.
"Prioritising the wellbeing and safety of our local community, patrons and participants is paramount," Mr Dobbie said.
"The volunteer Lakeside crew has worked hard all year planning for Lakeside Festival 2021.
"We are not giving up."
The rescheduled event will now be held on March 19, 2022 at John Wright Park, Tuncurry.
"Just 26 weeks away, a special autumn version.
Prioritising the wellbeing and safety of our local community, patrons and participants is paramount.
- Lakeside Festival president, Ian Dobbie
"The weather should be lovely for a day of awesome live music, beautiful views, delicious food, pop up bar and a kid's zone."
Stage director, Peter Eades said organisers were in the process of confirming the line-up of Australian female artists - Mahalia Barnes + The Soul Mates, Hussy Hicks, Little Quirks, Holly Who, Big Sky Mountain and Laura Zarb.
Purchased tickets for the original October event will now automatically be transferred to the 2022 date.
Patrons who can't make the new date will receive a refund on request.
