Our fifth Ocean Lovers Festival is returning to Bondi in March with an expanding program to over 60 market stalls, Live music on the beach front and dozens of free panel talks plus films with speakers, sunrise beach yoga, workshops and much more.
Please see the Bondi program here on the website and our overall festival release attached. I would be delighted to get you some images to share and people to talk to.
We have new Ambassadors like Jason Iggleden and are hosting Miss Earth 2024 Jessica Lane at the Festival in Bondi and the shark conservation legend Valerie Taylor as our patron will attend plus we are staging the Jawsie awards marking the 50th anniversary of the JAWS film and asking the public to vote on their favourite shark film here.
This is a short under 200 word blurb and some pics with more hi res to choose here –
Australia’s largest cultural and science event dedicated to the ocean, the Ocean Lovers Festival, is back for its fifth year with an even bigger splash! Expanding beyond its iconic Bondi roots, the 2025 festival will span multiple Sydney locations throughout March, featuring a diverse lineup of ocean-inspired events aimed at celebrating, educating, and inspiring action for a healthier ocean.
The festival will transform Sydney into a vibrant hub of ideas, art, music, & action. Whether it’s a sunrise yoga session on Bondi Beach followed by “science in your swimmers” talks, a Trashion Parade and eco-markets or ferry tours across Sydney Harbour highlighting marine restoration efforts – there’s something for everyone!
Families can enjoy engaging hands-on workshops , cooking classes and immersive ocean actionactivities, and beachfront revellers can groove to live bands, while ocean enthusiasts dive deeper with thought-provoking panels on topics like sustainable seafood, Indigenous sea knowledge, and alternatives to shark nets.
