Situated on a spectacular coastline and one of the iconic northern Illawarra suburbs, the Thirroul Seaside and Arts Festival celebrates art and the beach as fundamental parts of local life. The annual festival has established itself in the community as a beloved weekend-long family event with an art exhibition and prizes, entertainment, market stalls, great food and competitions.

Thirroul Seaside and Arts Festival is a not-for-profit event and all funds raised are donated back into the community, with over $800,000 having been donated to local individuals and organisations in need, since the festival began in 1993.

This much-loved event will run on the weekend of Friday evening, 2 June to Sunday, 4 June 2023. Friday’s official opening will highlight the Art Prize Exhibition and prizes. Come to Thirroul Community Centre for the presentation night, doors open at 7pm, just $20 for refreshments. On Saturday, 3 June, Thirroul township comes alive with art displayed in local shops, great food, and boutique shopping. On Sunday, 4 June enjoy a full day of family entertainment at Tangara Park, our magnificent seaside park near Thirroul Beach. The festival has been made possible for over 30 years by the Austinmer/Thirroul Lions Club and volunteers. All funds raised are donated back into our community.
