Port Lincoln’s Tunarama – Counting Down to 2027

The countdown to another fantastic Tunarama Festival has begun!

Set against the stunning backdrop of the Port Lincoln’s foreshore, Tunarama Festival is one of Australia’s most iconic regional events.

Over three action-packed days from 15-17 January 2027, Tunarama will continue to honour more than 60 years of tradition and heritage, while embracing a future full of innovation and new experiences.

Opening with the Blessing of the Fleet, the festival continues with a host of other favourites – the legendary and challenging Tuna Toss (a tradition born in Port Lincoln), the vibrant and colourful Street Parade, the Taste of Eyre Gala Dinner, and the spectacular Fireworks Display that lights up the foreshore.

Daily cooking demonstrations and stalls showcasing local seafood, wine and produce, will celebrate Port Lincoln’s reputation as Australia’s Seafood Capital throughout the weekend.

Live music, family activities, fishing and boating workshops, multicultural events, market stalls and a sideshow alley will add to Tunarama’s three days of non-stop entertainment.

Whether you are a long-time fan or first-time visitor, in 2027 you will find that Tunarama is more than a festival — it is a powerful celebration of Port Lincoln’s community, seafood heritage and regional lifestyle.

So, save the dates, and start planning your amazing summer weekend in Port Lincoln’s Tunarama Festival - one of Australia’s best known regional events.
