SA Wooden Boat Festival Returns on 26-27 April 2025!

Following the resounding success of the 2023 South Australian Wooden Boat Festival (SAWBF), which drew over 12,000 attendees to Hindmarsh Island's Alexandrina Cove, we are thrilled to announce the confirmed dates for the next festival. Save the date for the weekend of 26-27 April 2025 and stay tuned for further updates.

In 2023, the SAWBF not only captivated thousands but also earned us the distinction of being a finalist in the 2023 SA Tourism Awards. We are grateful for the support and look forward to creating more memorable moments in the upcoming festival.

Goolwa, South Australia, is situated within Ngarrindjeri traditional lands.

Alexandrina Council and its communities acknowledge the Ngarrindjeri people as the traditional custodians of the lands and waters of our Council district. We respect their rights, interests and obligations to speak and care for their traditional lands and waters in accordance with their laws, customs, beliefs and traditions.

The Coorong, Lower Lakes and Murray Mouth region and surrounding areas are Ngarrindjeri Yarluwar-Ruwe (Sea Country - all lands and waters).
