Get involved in our 32nd Ocean Festival this year by hosting a community event and helping to build the most exciting festival program yet.
Our Ocean Festival celebrates our 5 marine protected areas, the incredible biodiversity below the water and our unique rock platforms.
Did you know that our oceans cover over 80% of our planet, generate more than 50% of the oxygen we breathe and absorb above 25% of all carbon dioxide emissions?
Keeping our oceans healthy is critical, which is why you should get involved in our Ocean Festival. By having your event featured in our program, you will be able to:
- showcase your products or services to a wide audience
- connect with environmentally conscious locals
- network with other ocean loving business owners.
The festival runs from 30 November until 7 December and will feature a wide variety of exciting ocean-related events, experiences and encounters.
