Eat Festival

The Eat Merimbula Festival is the premium food festival of the Sapphire Coast NSW. Each year the region comes together on the foreshore of Merimbula Lake to celebrate the local chefs, cooks and produce of the region. The super-popular day celebrates local heroes with award-winning oysters and seafood, prime cuts from rich paddocks and sweet delights. Guests are encouraged to settle on a picnic blanket and savour something new. In 2025, Sunday's popular large gathering on Merimbula's Fishpen will return, along with a host of satellite events featuring the towns and villages too. Partner events will run over the entire weekend and provide a richer and more delicious experience for visitors and locals alike. Keep checking in with the website as they head toward the big day.
