more than a festival
This is more than a festival – it’s an invitation to experience one of Australia’s most extraordinary road trips.
Stretching from Carnarvon to Exmouth, Shark Bay and beyond, the Gascoyne is where red earth meets turquoise sea, where seafood is pulled fresh from pristine waters, and where growers, fishers, chefs and producers come together to create unforgettable experiences.
Start with a package or build your own Gascoyne adventure. From long-table feasts to coastal cruises and regional experiences, discover what’s happening across the festival.
Opening Weekend | 21–23 August

EXPLORE THE REGIONS
a region best explored slowly
Take the coastal route north and discover remote stations, reef-lined beaches, rugged outback landscapes, fresh local produce, vibrant communities and some of the most spectacular sunsets in Australia.
Along the way, you’ll find long table lunches among plantations, beachside feasts under the stars, fresh local seafood, cultural storytelling experiences, station dinners and immersive food adventures that showcase the people and produce of the Gascoyne.
Whether you’re planning a weekend escape or the ultimate foodie road trip, the Festival is designed to encourage visitors to travel throughout the region, stay a little longer and experience the diversity of the Gascoyne.
