The Ocean Lovers Festival is Australia’s LARGEST cultural and science celebration for the OCEAN! Born in Bondi and expanding to a Sydney-wide festival in March 2025, this annual event brings together ideas, art, music, and action to celebrate and protect the ocean.
Be inspired and entertained with a mix of art, music, food, talks, workshops, and more! Discover the latest innovations, cutting-edge technology, and creative solutions to help protect our oceans. Take a deeper dive into Sydney’s spectacular blue backyard, exploring its harbours, waterways, and coasts.
At the heart of it all, the iconic Bondi Festival will take place on March 22 & 23, 2025.
Come and Sea Change!
Sydney is one of the world’s great marine destinations, home to over 600 species of marine life and a thriving, largely unseen underwater ecosystem. Our beautiful harbour and beaches are synonymous with Australia’s brand, but there’s so much more beneath the surface—treasures being restored and nurtured back to life. The efforts of scientists, innovators, and the community are leading the way in demonstrating how an urban metropolis can coexist with a vibrant ocean habitat.
Dive in to experience Sydney’s wonderous blue heart!
