About Ulladulla Blessing of the Fleet

The Ulladulla Blessing of the Fleet Festival is a cherished event steeped in tradition and community spirit. Over its impressive 68-year history, this celebration has evolved while staying true to its core values

At the festival’s heart lies the blessing of the fishing fleet—an homage to safety and abundance for fishermen. This timeless tradition has been passed down through generations, fostering family participation and community contributions.

The greasy pole competition and Tug-O-War add excitement and camaraderie. These annual spectacles reflect the challenges and spirit of life at sea.

From live music to market stalls and family activities, the festival offers something for everyone. The ‘A Taste of the Sea’ dining experience showcases local seafood and its rich stories.
