One of the Bellarine Peninsula’s most popular events, the Portarlington Mussel Festival returns to the seaside village of Portarlington on Saturday the 11th of January for a day of music, markets, fun and of course delicious mussels.
The 2020 event will mark the 14th anniversary of this wonderful event that attracts around 30000 people each year. There will be around 200 market stalls selling a wide array of goods including craft, gifts and gourmet foods. Local wine and craft beer will be on offer and a huge selection of food including of course the famous mussels harvested fresh from Port Phillip Bay.
This year one of Australia’s best tribute bands Queen Forever will give people a taste of what they are in for when the real band tours Australia in the coming weeks playing all the big hits and not only sounding like the real thing but looking like the real thing.
Queen Forever isn’t the only entertainment, there’s Soul Sister Swing, Blue Wax Trio, All Shook up and plenty more acts to add a festive spirit to the day, plus plenty of roaming acts and fun for the young.
Crowd favourites like the cooking demonstrations, art show, classic cars will all return with the day looking bigger than ever. The fun starts at 9:30 AM and will run through until around 5:00 PM.
