Event Description

Kick off the New Year at Port Vincent Gala Day! Start 2026 with a bang at Port Vincent’s premier family-friendly festival! Spend the day enjoying entertainment, markets, community fun, and finish with the spectacular Ignite the Night fireworks over the bay. A beloved tradition for locals, visitors, and shack owners alike, this year promises even more excitement with new entertainment and interactive experiences for all ages. Event Highlights

  • Market Stalls – Browse arts, crafts, local produce, and unique gifts while soaking up the seaside vibes.
  • Food & Drinks – From street food and locally caught seafood to homemade treats and refreshing beverages, there’s something for everyone.
  • Live Entertainment – Enjoy live music, performances, and roving entertainers – the perfect soundtrack to your day at the beach.
  • Raffles & Competitions – Fun games and competitions for all ages. Everyone leaves with a smile (and maybe a prize!).
  • Kids’ Activities – Face painting, amusement rides, plaster painting, and more. If the crowds or sun get too much, the beach is just steps away.
  • Traditional Favourites – Don’t miss the daring Silver Sharks aerobatics, sandcastle competition, vintage cars, carnival rides, and more.
  • Spectacular Fireworks – Cap off your day with a jaw-dropping fireworks display over the water (weather permitting).
