A SHOWCASE OF SOLUTIONS
MARCH 1 - 31
Ocean Lovers Festival is Australia’s LARGEST cultural and science celebration for the OCEAN, born in Bondi and has since expanded to a Sydney-wide Festival across March.
The Festival is an annual celebration of Ideas, Art+Music and Actions, showcasing some of the latest innovations, science, state-of-the-art technology and cool ideas for helping the ocean.
Be inspired and entertained with art, music, food, talks, stalls, workshops and take a deeper dive of discovery into our blue backyard to immerse, and explore Sydney’s wonderous blue harbour heart, waterways and coast.
Come and Sea Change!

DIVE IN!
Sydney is one of the world’s great marine destinations; a harbour that is home to over 600 species of marine life and a thriving underwater ecosystem largely unrevealed beneath the surface.
Our harbour and beaches are synonymous with brand Australia, but beneath the blue beauty and sparkling shorelines is so much more treasure being restored, nurtured and returned to a thriving and world leading ocean ecosystem.
Scientists, innovators and the community are nurturing this impressive waterway back to robust health and leading the world in demonstrating how an urban metropolis can coexist with the magnificent ocean habitat and creatures.
Dive in to experience our city's wonderous blue heart!
