Kilcunda Lobster Festival

The Kilcunda Lobster Festival is an annual community and fundraising event 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 5000 people each year, with thousands coming to enjoy all things lobster! One of the most popular attractions at the Lobster Festival is the ‘Lobster Spinning Wheel’, where ticket holders can win a freshly cooked lobster! The Wheel spins every 5 minutes between 10am and 3pm.

Food and drink will be available, including lobster lunches, and music all day. They are also hoping to run a Skate Comp again at the Kilcunda Skate Park, so watch for details on how to join in.

Both kids and adults have so much enjoyment with the plethora of attractions and activities during the Kilcunda Lobster Festival. This is a dog-friendly event, but dogs MUST BE FRIENDLY, be on leads and be kept under control at all times and a poop pick-up event!

The lobster festival is a great community event, and you are certain to have a good time.  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 crafts will also be on display and for sale.

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