The Whitianga Scallop Festival is a purpose built marquee village showcasing over 60 food & beverage vendors, Celebrity Chefs sharing their expertise in the New World Cooking Stage and three stages of musical entertainment running though out the day.
Tickets are for entry only.  You will receive a festival glass and programme on entry.  All our stallholders sell their treats, ranging from approx. $5.00-$12.00.

Children under 5 years are free.

Yes, there will be a ‘Best Dressed’ competition … get your troops together and have some fun!

There is no cash out facilities, most stallholders do have eftpos, but to be on the safe side, grab some cash from the nearby money machines on Albert Street.

The gates open at 10am and close at 5pm.

There is limited street parking within walking distance. We recommend the gold coin donation shuttle busses running throughout the day.

Unfortunately, we do not allow animals into the festival unless of course they are guide dogs.
