❗IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT: WHALE FESTIVAL POSTPONED❗

Due to the forecast of strong winds and heavy rain this weekend, Fraser Coast Tourism & Events has made the difficult decision to postpone all Whale Festival events, including:

🐋 City and Sea (City Park Festivities at City Park and Seafront Celebrations at Seafront Oval)
✨ Tasman Holiday Parks Parade of Lights (Main Street)
🛶 Paddle Out for Whales (Ernie Organ Park & Torquay Pier)

The safety of our patrons, volunteers, vendors, and staff is our top priority, and we thank you for your understanding as we respond to these unexpected weather conditions.

🗓️ Here’s what’s changing:
🔹 City and Sea will now take place on Saturday, 30 August
🔹 The entire event will be relocated to Seafront Oval — there will be no activities at City Park
🔹 Event time remains 2:00 PM – 8:00 PM, now featuring all the City Park and Seafront activities combined into one bigger celebration!
🔹 The Tasman Holiday Parks Parade of Lights will also move to Seafront Oval (instead of Main Street)
🔹 Paddle Out for Whales will now take place on Sunday, 31 August – updated time to be confirmed soon

We understand this news may be disappointing, but the safety of our community comes first. We’re committed to delivering a fantastic event experience and appreciate your support as we make these necessary changes.

👉 Stay tuned for further updates!
