βIMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT: WHALE FESTIVAL POSTPONEDβ
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:
π City and Sea (City Park Festivities at City Park and Seafront Celebrations at Seafront Oval)
β¨ Tasman Holiday Parks Parade of Lights (Main Street)
πΆ 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.
ποΈ Hereβs whatβs changing:
πΉ City and Sea will now take place on Saturday, 30 August
πΉ The entire event will be relocated to Seafront Oval β there will be no activities at City Park
πΉ Event time remains 2:00 PM β 8:00 PM, now featuring all the City Park and Seafront activities combined into one bigger celebration!
πΉ The Tasman Holiday Parks Parade of Lights will also move to Seafront Oval (instead of Main Street)
πΉ Paddle Out for Whales will now take place on Sunday, 31 August β updated time to be confirmed soon
We understand this news may be disappointing, but the safety of our community comes first. Weβre committed to delivering a fantastic event experience and appreciate your support as we make these necessary changes.
π Stay tuned for further updates!
