Frankston City Council’s iconic Waterfront Festival returns on Friday 7 February and Saturday 8 February, featuring a music line-up of some of Australia’s best artists, delicious food and plenty of activities for all-ages both in and out of the water.
A highlight of the summer season, Waterfront Festival returns bigger and better than ever, with a new format and some exciting new additions coming in 2025. For the first time, Waterfront Festival will kick off on Friday evening, offering the perfect way to unwind and ease into the weekend. Headlining the mainstage will be legendary Aussie duo Sneaky Sound System, who will bring their signature dance anthems to the stage as the sun sets over the bay. They will be joined by Sunshine & Disco Faith Choir, Amaru Tribe and Coco Michelle.
On Saturday, the festival kicks into full gear, offering a day filled with free activities and entertainment. Check out the Rotary Duck Race as colourful ducks take over the creek, explore the stalls and interactive activities for some hands-on fun, or take part in the Frankston Swim Classic – whether you’re competing or cheering from the sand!
Saturday’s music line-up offers a more relaxed vibe, headed up by indie folk duo Pierce Brothers, who are currently celebrating ten years since their breakout EP, The Night Tree, with a nationwide tour. Also on the bill is the ultra charismatic Queenie, whose powerful voice and heartfelt songwriting never fails to captivate any audience, and nine-piece West African/Cuban collective Ausecuma Beats. There’s also performances by Steph Strings, Lotte Gallagher, George & Noriko and Natasha Kate. As the music winds down, the festival wraps up with a dazzling fireworks display over the bay.
Across both days, food trucks will offer an array of flavours, from local favourites to international fare with the new addition of The World Kitchen. Presented by Ventana, The World Kitchen is a food performance venue showcasing varying cultures and traditions through food. The World Kitchen is the place where sharing food becomes the universal language.
Waterfront Festival is the place to be for good vibes in the sun – take in the atmosphere with family and friends on the lawn, listening to tunes and sipping drinks from the garden bar. Don’t miss Frankston’s signature summer event, proudly brought to you by Frankston City Council. See you there!
