Portarlington Mussel Festival

The Portarlington Mussel Festival is organised by a dedicated committee of volunteers who wish to promote local produce as well as promote Portarlington as an ideal holiday destination. Portarlington is the mussel capital of Victoria, so it was a natural choice to run a mussel festival.

The festival will showcase local produce, including wine, olives, and cheeses. There will be mussels to sample and purchase, prepared in a variety of ways. They will be available to purchase fresh from the Pier, and a charter boat will run trips to the mussel farms.

Weather permitting, The sailing ship Enterprize will also be in Port to provide short sailing tours. The Portarlington Dry Boat Artistic Event (Race) will once again be held down by the Pier.
