After a brief hiatus in 2023, the much-anticipated Beachport Crayfish Festival is making a grand comeback in 2024, promising an experience even more delightful than before. Held in the Beachport Centennial Park, the festival is slated for the 2nd of March, from 10am to 10pm.
Imagine a day where the cloudless blue sky meets the sea, and the air is filled with the aroma of freshly cooked lobster. That’s the Beachport Crayfish Festival for you!
A celebration of Beachport’s rich crayfish heritage, the festival tributes the thriving crayfish industry of the town, which employs over 100 individuals, from crew members to exporters.
But it’s not just about crayfish. From Mike’s Beef Jerky to Strawberries Galore, there’s something for everyone (even if you don’t like seafood!). And for those who fancy a drink, local wineries and breweries, including the renowned Beachport Brewing Co and Zema Estate, will be showcasing their finest.
Music enthusiasts are in for a treat too! With performances by local talents like Victoria Meyer and The Christy Wallace Trio, the festival promises to have you grooving in no time. And if you’re up for some friendly competition, participate in the community tug of war or showcase your cooking skills in the crayfish cooking contest.
You’ll also have time for some retail therapy at the myriad market stalls, while the little ones can also enjoy face painting, giant games, and exhilarating Go Kart rides.
With early bird tickets priced at just $27.50, this is an opportunity you wouldn’t want to miss. And if you’re planning to make it a weekend getaway, Beachport offers a range of accommodation options, from cozy caravan parks to luxurious rentals. But remember, slots fill up fast during the festival weekend, so book early!
Beachport is an idyllic seaside town with a rugged coastline, scenic views playgrounds, golf course, and shopping and dining options. So why not make a weekend of it?
