The annual Thirroul Seaside and Arts Festival is a weekend-long celebration of the arts and seaside activities that reflect the community interests and way of life. Visit the Art Exhibition, which is open all weekend, for a visual feast of art, sculpture and photography. Gold coin donation for entry. On the Sunday head down to Thirroul Beach Reserve to enjoy a magnificent full day of carnival rides, market stalls, food, coffee and free live entertainment. The Thirroul Seaside and Arts Festival is a not-for-profit project of the Austinmer/Thirroul Lions Club Inc. and proceeds are returned the community via projects, helping local groups, organisations and individuals. The delivery of the festival is made possible through the support of local artists, the Lions Club and the many volunteers who provide their skills and time.
