Parents and grandparents with young children or grandchildren, pack the car and head to Ballina on Sunday (May 4) for the 2025 Our Kids Day Out.

From Paw Patrol to Big Dog, magic, music, wildlife and much more: get ready for an action-packed, free day out for the whole family at Ballina at the Missingham Bridge Amphitheatre in Ballina between 9am and 2pm.

The day is shaping up to be heaps of fun for the entire family, with an exciting line-up of live entertainment, games, music and much more. The main show, Paw Patrol and Friends, will take place at 10am and 12pm.

Clarence Property is presenting Musical Munchkins with Sheyzo and The Blaze Magic Show, while Cherry Street Sports is presenting Miss Beka and Little Cherry, DJ Chad, and the Wildlife Twins.

Representatives from local emergency services will also be on hand, with children able to check-out the trucks, cars and boats on display. Children will be able to learn about the vital services that keep our community safe and come to the rescue of those in need. They’ll also have a chance to meet some of the dedicated staff who work in the Children’s Ward at Lismore Base Hospital.

The Ballina Lions Breakfast BBQ will kick off at 9am, and everyone is invited to enjoy it while watching the performances on the main stage.

A key feature of the annual event is the presentation of the Suzie Levot Memorial Our Kids Bravery Award – an award given out each year to a child who has shown outstanding bravery in their battle to overcome illness. This will take place at 11am.

Our Kids Fundraising Coordinator, Rebekka Battista, invited families from across the region to join in the fun.

“The Clarence Property Our Kids Day Out is a fantastic opportunity for families to enjoy free entertainment and connect with emergency services – all while raising funds for sick children,” Ms Battista said.

“So, bring your family, pack a picnic blanket, and enjoy a day full of fun."

Our Kids raises funds to purchase paediatric equipment for children’s wards and special care nurseries in the region. This equipment helps children living in the Northern Rivers to receive the medical care they need close to home.

To date, Our Kids has purchased more than $2.7 million in paediatric equipment for the Lismore, Grafton and Tweed hospitals.
