Tunarama is back — bigger, brighter and bolder than ever.

Set against the stunning backdrop of Port Lincoln, Tunarama 2026 marks a brand new chapter for one of Australia’s most iconic regional festivals. From January 16–18, the three-day celebration will bring together the best of tradition and transformation — honouring over 60 years of heritage while embracing a fresh vision for the future.

Tunarama 2026 will feature everything locals and visitors love — the legendary Tuna Toss, and the vibrant street parade — alongside a feast of new experiences celebrating Port Lincoln’s reputation as the Seafood Capital of Australia.

Expect fresh seafood tastings and demonstrations, live music, local wine and produce showcases, multicultural experiences, live entertainment and a wide range of family-friendly activities — all designed to spotlight the people, industries, and culture that make Port Lincoln unique.

Whether you’re a longtime fan or a first-time visitor, this is your invitation to be part of something special. Tunarama 2026 is more than a festival — it’s a homecoming, a celebration, and a taste of what’s to come.
