1 WEEK TO GO!

Did you know the name of the WinterSun Festival was inspired by Paul Winter’s iconic WinterSun surfboard brand from the 1960s?

An ode to our history, our community, and the coming together of locals and visitors alike — WinterSun celebrates the spirit of this place we call home.

From wild and wonderful coastlines to our iconic jetties, wharves and lighthouses, this festival is a tribute to the landscapes that shape us and the stories that connect us.

A celebration of place.
Of community.
Of the Far South Coast at its best.

Only one week to go!
