Wild Harvest Seafood Festival
Take a road trip down the coast for ocean-fresh hauls, live music, bush food walks and a booze- and seafood-filled sunset cruise.
Overview
If you're a true seafood lover who's keen on a long-haul road trip down the coast, this one's for you. The annual Wild Harvest Seafood Festival returns to Mallacoota from Friday, April 26, to Sunday, April 28, and it's the perfect excuse to squeeze in a weekend getaway.
This year's festivities are set to deliver a jam-packed celebration of top local produce, community and history. One of the main events is a huge seafood market on Saturday featuring food stalls, local booze pop-ups and a stack of local producers showcasing their finest ocean-fresh hauls, with abalone, sea urchin, prawns and many (many) oysters all on offer.
Elsewhere, you'll have the chance to jump aboard a Mallacoota lake cruise to watch the sunset with bubbles, beer and brilliant seafood in hand, or take a daytime jaunt aboard the historic M.V Loch-Ard to learn all about estuary health and the tasty sea creatures that live just beneath the water's surface.
The stacked lineup of events at this year's Wild Harvest Seafood Festival also includes a night-time lantern festival, paella picnic, sand sculpting competition and bush food walk with Budawang Elder from the Yuin Nation Noel Butler.
