The Festival of Sails is back for 2025, and this year’s program promises to be bigger and
better than ever! From world-class sailing action to an exciting lineup of music, food, and
entertainment, the Geelong Waterfront will be buzzing for three unforgettable days
from January 25-27, 2025.
Live Music for Everyone
We’re bringing a diverse range of artists to the festival stages, so there’s something for
everyone. Rock out with The Southern River Band, sing along to the hits of Queen with
tribute legends Queen Forever, or bask in sunny acoustic and folk vibes from Freya
Josephine Hollick. For the kids (and kids at heart), The Mik Maks will deliver a highenergy,
family-friendly performance.
Festival Experiences Not to Miss
This year’s program is packed with experiences on and off the water:
- Regatta Cruise: Hop aboard the ticketed Regatta Cruise on Saturday, January
25 for the best seat in the house to watch the thrilling finish of the legendary
Melbourne to Geelong Passage Race. - RAAF Aerial Show: Don’t miss the exhilarating RAAF Roulettes Aerial Show as
they soar over the regatta. - Paddock on the Bay: Hosted by Paddock Bakery, this lively spot at Fairnie Park
brings you Geelong’s best eats, drinks, and live music. - Fireworks: Day 1 wraps up with a dazzling fireworks display lighting up the bay at
9 PM. - Come & Try Sailing: Get out on the water with two days of FREE Come & Try
Sailing on state-of-the-art RS21 keelboats. - Yoga by the Bay: Start Day 3 with free Yoga by the Bay on Monday morning, then
