Get involved

Every festival is shaped by the people who participate, from the boaties who travel from near and far, to the sponsors, exhibitors, volunteers and local businesses who make it possible.

However you'd like to be involved, we invite you to join the crew and become part of the story.

Sponsors

The Festival offers sponsors a unique opportunity to connect with a large and engaged audience while demonstrating support for regional tourism, culture and community.
