📞 CALLING ALL LOCAL COMMUNITY GROUPS!

Want to raise funds for your community group while helping us keep the Portarlington Mussel Festival clean and green?

We're looking for a local community group to join us as our Waste Warriors at the 2027 Portarlington Mussel Festival!

💚 Working in pairs, your volunteers will be stationed at our bin stations throughout the Festival, helping visitors sort their waste and keep our beautiful foreshore clean.

💰 Collect the 10c refunds! All eligible cans and bottles collected at the Festival will go towards fundraising for your group.

🦪 Your group will also be one of the local community organisations to benefit from funds reinvested back into the community by the Portarlington Mussel Festival.

It's a fantastic opportunity to raise funds, get involved in a much-loved local event and make a positive environmental impact!

🦪 HELP US BRING THE MUSSEL FESTIVAL TO LIFE!

The Portarlington Mussel Festival is proudly powered by volunteers, and as we prepare to celebrate 20 years by the bay in 2027, we’d love some new faces to join our committee!

We’re looking for community-minded people to work alongside our existing team and help share the workload.

No event experience needed! Joining the committee doesn’t mean taking on a huge role. Even helping with one small task can make a big difference. We’d particularly love a hand with administration, coordinating traders, volunteers and general event logistics.

If you’re organised, practical, enjoy getting things done or simply love Portarlington and want to give back, we’d love to hear from you!

Many hands make light work, and a few extra helping hands can make an enormous difference.

🦪 Our AGM is coming up! It's a great opportunity to come along, meet the team and see how you can get involved.

📩 Send us a message or email [email protected] to find out more.

💙 A special shout-out to our Major Sponsor, Community Bank Bellarine, for their continued generosity and support of the Festival. Partnerships like these, alongside the dedication of our volunteers, help keep this much-loved community event going year after year.

Help us keep this wonderful Portarlington tradition going for years to come! 🦪💙
