Kilcunda Lobster Festival

The Kilcunda Lobster Festival is an annual community and fundraising event that occurs each January.

Located on the foreshore area of Kilcunda, the full-day family-friendly festival invites everyone to enjoy lobster-themed food and activities for the day while supporting a good cause.

The festival draws nearly 7000 people each year with thousands of people coming to enjoy all things lobster! One of the most popular attractions at the Lobster Festival is the ‘Lobster Spinning Wheel’ where ticket holders have the opportunity to win a freshly cooked lobster! The Wheel spins every 5 minutes between 10am and 3pm.

Both kids and adults have so much enjoyment with the plethora of attractions and activities during the Kilcunda Lobster Festival. The carnival features tons of amusements, face painting, and an animal nursery. It’s also a dog-friendly event, but make sure to bring your friendly pooches on a leash. Bring cash, as EFTPOS is generally not available at the stalls.

There are dozens of stalls to explore, with all kinds of food and drink, especially mouth-watering lobster lunches all day. Homemade preserves, arts, and craft will be on display and for sale as well.

Live music adds to the fantastic energy of the festival, making it unlike any other you’ve ever been to! A guaranteed good time for all awaits you at the event; it’s no surprise that some 7,000 people make their way to Kilcunda each year for this event alone.

The Kilcunda Lobster Festival is free of charge. Bring the entire family along for a memorable summer event filled with good food and a vibrant energy. It is a summertime event not to be missed!
