Victoria’s Surf Coast is one of Australia’s favourite events destinations

Surf Coast Events deliver unique, authentic and exciting experiences against stunning natural backdrops. Through our events, we build connections and inspire people to embrace their passions, challenge their limits and make lasting memories.

Each year, Surf Coast Shire Council supports, partners, facilitates or delivers some 200 events across its coastal and hinterland townships and surrounds.

Ranging from small community gatherings and markets, to large scale festivals and internationally renowned sporting events, they attract around 200,000 people to attend or participate. Many more millions of people from around the world see our beautiful region through broadcasts of hallmark events like the Rip Curl Pro and Cadel Evans Great Ocean Road Race.

We’ve created this Surf Coast Events website to help you explore what’s on offer. You can search by event type, date or location, or simply browse through our entire events calendar.

Whatever you’re in to – the surf, trails, music, markets, exploring our environment or challenging yourself in an endurance event – you’ll find something to inspire and excite you.

We’re proud of our region, and of the events we facilitate each year. We invite you to be a part of our event community and “Get Amongst It” by signing up for email event news and/or connecting with us @ SurfCoastEvents on Facebook and SurfCoast_Events on Instagram.
