SAPPHIRE COAST

SAPPHIRE COAST EVENTS

The traditional owners of the Sapphire Coast are the Djiringanj and Thaua people, custodians of land, sea and waterways under three sacred mountains. As you explore Sapphire Coast events, take time to appreciate and acknowledge the deep history, connection, ancestral ties, stories and ongoing significance of the region for its traditional owners, paying respect to Elders past and present.


Soak up the Sapphire Coast at diverse events across the region including film, music, art, sport and local produce. For live music, check out South Coast Gig Guide for weekly updates on who's taking the stage across the Sapphire Coast.

This year’s calendar is bursting with events that bring people together in celebration of place,  culture and creativity. The beaches, forests and mountains of the Sapphire Coast set the stage for experiences that are unique to this place. This is why our events feel so alive, they are deeply connected to the land, sea and community.

EVENT SPOTLIGHT

EAT FESTIVAL


EAT Festival is the Sapphire Coast’s premier celebration of food. Each March, the region comes alive with flavours of sea and land - from freshly shucked oysters to artisan produce and creative local dishes. It’s a tribute to the growers, fishers and makers who connect us to this place.


Take a stroll along the lakeside and enjoy great food, live music, entertainment and a warm community spirit.
