WinterSun Festival

18/06/2026

And just like that, WinterSun Festival 2026 comes to a close.

To our incredible partners, sponsors, grant partners, contributors and volunteers — thank you. Your support, generosity and belief in this festival help bring it to life year after year.

To our local businesses, performers, stallholders and community groups — thank you for sharing your passion, talents and energy with us.

But most of all, thank you to every single person who came along, braved the winter chill, cheered, danced, swam, ate, laughed and celebrated with us. You are what makes WinterSun so special.

What began as a festival is now a tradition — a weekend that brings our community together and showcases the very best of our region.

Until next year, thank you for making WinterSun Festival 2026 one to remember.

See you in 2027.
