Grab your family and friends for the best summer yet. Sink your toes into beaches with golden sand, or immerse yourself in nature — outdoor activities are plenty, from hiking or walking our trails to swimming, surfing, fishing and much more. The local flavours set us apart; you can experience them at wineries, restaurants, and cafes scattered all across the peninsula. Remember to visit our breweries, distilleries and farmgates too. There’s a vibrant energy that’s hard to resist at our festivals and events showcasing local music and art, food and drink, and cultural celebrations. Create lasting memories on the Mornington Peninsula.
This summer, find a calendar bursting with events, entertainment, music and activities to enjoy. Outdoor markets, food and wine festivals and family fun activities for the kids. If art and music are more your muse, explore the Mornington Peninsula’s ever changing program of exhibitions, music performances, dance and theatre.
