Oceanfest Bundaberg 2025
Oceanfest Bundaberg – A Celebration of Seafood and the Sea
Oceanfest Bundaberg is set to make waves once again on Saturday 23rd August 2025, bringing the Bundaberg Port Marina Precinct alive with the sights, sounds, and flavours of the ocean. Hosted by the Rotary Club of Bundaberg Sunrise, this much-loved festival is a tribute to our region’s world-class seafood industry and the rich maritime culture that surrounds it.
From 10am to 5pm, the picturesque marina will transform into a bustling hub of activity, offering something for everyone. Seafood lovers will be spoilt for choice, with an array of stalls and food vans serving up fresh, locally caught wild seafood from the Southern Great Barrier Reef and Bundaberg waters, alongside fine wines, craft beers, and delicious non-seafood options for every taste.
Beyond the food, Oceanfest is packed with entertainment and attractions for all ages. Expect live performances from talented local musicians, interactive displays, cultural and historical exhibits, environmental and educational presentations, and ocean-themed demonstrations. Families can look forward to a dedicated children’s precinct featuring amusement rides, face painting, artist workshops, and engaging activities. The event’s ocean-oriented exhibitors will showcase everything from recreational fishing and boating to arts, tourism, and conservation.
Oceanfest Bundaberg isn’t just about having a good time—it’s about giving back. All proceeds, including those from the Oceanfest Raffle, are returned to local community organisations and not-for-profits that provide essential services in Bundaberg and the surrounding areas.
Whether you’re a Bundaberg local or visiting for the weekend, this is your chance to enjoy the best our region has to offer in seafood, entertainment, and community spirit. Mark your calendar and make a day of it at Oceanfest Bundaberg 2025.
