Frankston Waterfront Festival returns in 2026 for two huge days of live music, great food, and summer fun by the bay!
Set along Frankston’s stunning foreshore, the Waterfront Festival is a celebration of everything we love about summer — sunshine, entertainment, community, and unforgettable moments shared with family and friends.
The festival kicks off on Friday night, transforming the waterfront into a lively hub of music, food, drinks, and entertainment.
Enjoy headline performances as the sun sets, grab a colourful cocktail, take a spin on the rides, and soak up the buzz of the bay as the weekend begins.
On Festival Day Saturday, the precinct comes alive with activities for all ages.
Families can enjoy free entertainment, interactive activations, and the Frankston Swim Classic, while food lovers can indulge in delicious offerings from local food trucks or relax in the beer garden or Carlsberg Beach Club. Live music fills the main stage all day, culminating in a spectacular fireworks show over the water.
With free entry and something for everyone, the Waterfront Festival is the highlight of Frankston’s summer season. Join us on the foreshore for two days of sunshine, music, and memories!
