Celebrate this New Year’s in style with The Sailing Club, as they head to the Fleurieu Peninsula with an exciting summer pop-up, celebrating the best of South Australian cuisine and wine.
After a successful stint in Robe during the 2023/2024 season, The Sailing Club is now setting its sights on Goolwa.
“The Sailing Club last docked in Robe for the 2023/2024 season, but it is now time to give Goolwa the opportunity to experience what this annual festival has to offer,” shares Sam Worrall-Thompson, the owner of EMBR Hospitality and pioneer behind The Sailing Club.
With this year’s festival taking place on the water at the Goolwa Regatta Yacht Club, festivalgoers will have easy access from Hindmarsh Island, Middleton, Port Elliot, and Victor Harbor. Sam highlights the region’s unique appeal during the holiday season, mentioning the laid-back vibe that complements the festival atmosphere perfectly.
“Goolwa is a go-to destination for the summer holidays. The Goolwa Regatta Yacht Club is the perfect location for anyone looking to bring in the New Year. Nothing screams holiday season more than relaxing with good food, drinks, music, friends, and family. And a bonus – we’ll even do the clean-up for you.”
Running from December 27th 2024 to January 4th 2025, the festival will collaborate with local businesses to present an array of fresh coastal dishes, diverse cocktails, and beverages. There will also be exclusive events such as a VIP area on New Year’s Eve. Plus, the proximity to the annual Goolwa New Year’s Eve Fireworks will ensure a picturesque scene at midnight.
“The Sailing Club will have an extra spectacular backdrop for festival goers come midnight with the annual Goolwa New Years Eve Fireworks only being a matter of metres away,” explained Sam.
The Sailing Club was founded in 2016 to provide an inclusive celebration suitable for all ages and catering to both day and evening festivities.
“Each year we have been overwhelmed by the level of community support for The Sailing Club. We initially set out to deliver an all-inclusive event that caters to everyone young and old as well as a festival that transitions seamlessly from day to night. I believe that we’ve held true to that since we first established the event back in 2016,” Sam added.
As the summer approaches, the anticipation for The Sailing Club’s arrival in Goolwa is building, with Sam expressing his eagerness to welcome both locals and tourists.
“We look forward to seeing everyone at the Goolwa Regatta Yacht Club this Summer when The Sailing Club sails into town,” he concluded.
The Sailing Club prides itself on being family-friendly and pet-friendly, promising a varied schedule of daily activities and events to keep all attendees entertained. The festival’s full schedule will be announced in the coming weeks.
