Shore Leave is Geraldton’s premier festival celebrating the Mid West’s finest seafood, culture, and adventure. Held annually in late April, the event offers a luxurious and immersive experience that showcases the region’s rich maritime heritage and culinary excellence.
The festival’s signature event, the Abrolhos Long Table Lunch, takes place on the picturesque East Wallabi Island, offering guests a one-of-a-kind dining experience surrounded by the natural beauty of the Abrolhos Islands. Meanwhile, Mid West Paddock to Plate at Yanget Farm invites guests to dine under the stars in a celebration of local produce and regional flavours.
Festival-goers can also enjoy The Helm, a vibrant hub on Geraldton’s foreshore featuring food and beverage stalls, live music, family-friendly workshops, and breathtaking sunset views. Other highlights include the Beach Price Markets at the Geraldton Fishermen’s Wharf and guided tours to Kalbarri and the Chapman Valley, offering behind-the-scenes access to local producers, small breweries, and artisans.
Whether you're drawn by the flavours, the stories, or the scenery, Shore Leave is a must-experience celebration of everything that makes Western Australia's Mid West so special.
