What's on
Festivals, markets and events across Bermagui and the Sapphire Coast, all year round.
Plan your stay
There is nearly always something on
The Sapphire Coast runs a festival calendar well out of proportion to its size, from folk music in Cobargo to oysters in Narooma and sculpture along the Bermagui headland. There is a market on somewhere most days of the week too.
Below, the big events in the order they fall through the year, so you can see what is on while you are here. If you would rather pick an event and plan a trip around it, there is a shortlist by interest underneath. Dates shift a little year to year, so check with the organiser before you book.
