Registrations for the International Lighthouse and Lightship Weekend are now being made at http://illw.net. The event is always held on the third full weekend in August starting at 0001UTC on Saturday and finishing at 2359UTC on Sunday. There are some interesting video clips on YouTube that give an idea of the history of the event and what it's like to operate from a lighthouse: The Yamba Lighthouse at www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dp1-bqsxAus and Point Perpendicular at www.youtube.com/watch?v=eiGA7F09ZM8
