After a massive comeback, Tunarama Festival returns in 2027 once again bringing the foreshore to life

Tunarama goes further in 2027— bigger, brighter and bolder.

Set against the stunning backdrop of Port Lincoln, Tunarama Festival 2027 builds on the success of its return year to mark an exciting new chapter for one of Australia’s most iconic regional festivals. From January 15–17, the three-day celebration will bring together the best of tradition and transformation - honouring over 60 years of heritage while continuing to evolve with a fresh vision for the future.

Following a highly successful 2026 festival, Tunarama returns in 2027 bigger, brighter, and bolder than ever. The program will once again feature everything locals and visitors love — including the legendary Tuna Toss and vibrant street parade - alongside an expanded lineup of new experiences showcasing Port Lincoln’s reputation as the Seafood Capital of Australia.

Expect fresh seafood tastings and cooking demonstrations, live music, local wine and produce showcases, multicultural experiences, live entertainment, and a wide range of family-friendly activities — all designed to highlight the people, industries, and culture that make Port Lincoln truly unique.

Whether you’re a longtime supporter or experiencing it for the first time, Tunarama Festival 2027 is your invitation to be part of something special. Building on a successful return year, the festival continues to grow as more than just an event - it’s a celebration of community, a showcase of place, and a taste of what’s still to come.
