The Ulladulla Harbour-based festival is on tomorrow Sunday, March 31 and it promises to be a great community event.
Over the past few months, the festival's committee has been working hard to organise an event that will have something for everyone to enjoy.
Celebrations start at 9am with the Fishermens' Procession, followed by the Welcome to Country at 9.15am, an Easter Mass at 9.30 and the Blessing of the Fleet at 10.45am.
Here are some of the things people can do and see at the festival.
- Easter hat parade 11.30am on the stage at the Ulladulla Harbour. Bring the children to have some fun and enjoy the Easter egg giveaway.
- The iconic greasy pole contest is back at a new location near the Ulladulla saltwater pool area. The popular tug-of-war contest will also be on the beach near the pool. Thanks goes to the Apex Club of Milton Ulladulla for running the event every year.
- Mr Boom Boom Fireworks will be lighting up the sky on Easter Sunday at 8pm as part of the grand finale to the Blessing of The Fleet Festival.
- There will be heaps of free entertainment and live music. The music line-up is Three Hours South at 12pm, Elton Joel at 1pm and SoulTonic at 4pm . All on centre stage down at the Ulladulla Harbour Precinct.
