Your Complete Guide to the Tidal Seafood Festival
Make the Most of the Tidal Seafood Festival
The Tidal Seafood Festival brings a springtime seafood celebration to San Remo, with great flavours, coastal atmosphere and a chance to spend time with the local community. Whether you are a local, holidaymaker or simply someone who loves good food by the bay, it is a wonderful reason to arrive hungry and stay awhile.
We are proud to be behind the food throughout the festival. From BBQ cooking and fish tacos to the cocktail and eight-course dinner on 18 September, our team will be hands-on across the event. This guide covers what to expect, how to plan ahead and where to find the latest dinner details.
Taste Your Way Through the Tidal Seafood Festival
The Tidal Seafood Festival is made for relaxed grazing, seafood-focused dishes and easy coastal fun. Give yourself time to take in the festival atmosphere, explore the food available and enjoy being close to Westernport Bay.
Throughout the event, you will find Team Westernport firing up the BBQ and preparing fish tacos. It is not simply our name attached to the festival, our kitchen crew will be actively cooking and serving food for festival guests.
A good festival day is rarely rushed. Come with an appetite, share a few bites with your group and leave room to try something else later. Freshly cooked festival fare always tastes better when you can enjoy it at your own pace.

Meet the Team Behind the Festival Food
At The Westernport, we are used to bringing people together over generous, carefully prepared food. Our San Remo pub and restaurant is also a place for functions, entertainment and community gatherings, so being part of the Tidal Seafood Festival feels like a natural fit.
For the festival, we will be doing far more than lending support from the sidelines. Our team will be on the BBQ, cooking food for guests, and making fish tacos throughout the event. The same people who bring care and energy to our kitchen will be helping shape the festival food experience.
Spring is a lovely time to spend a day in San Remo, and we are pleased to play a practical role in an event that celebrates the area. Food has a simple way of creating a meeting point, especially when it is made fresh and shared near the water.
Reserve Your Seat at the Eight-Course Dinner
For guests wanting a more considered festival meal, the cocktail and eight-course dinner on 18 September is a standout part of the program. It is an opportunity to settle in for an evening of seafood-led dining prepared by Team Westernport.
Unlike casual festival eating, a ticketed dinner gives you a set place at the table and a fuller dining experience. With eight courses to enjoy, it is ideal for those who want to make an evening of the festival rather than simply stopping by for a quick bite.
Tickets are on sale now, and it is sensible to organise them early if the dinner is high on your list. Ticketed dining events are limited, so leaving plans until the last minute may mean missing out.
Before making arrangements, refer to the official Tidal Seafood Festival dinner page for the current information. It is the best place to confirm:

Plan Your Tidal Seafood Festival Visit
September in Victoria can bring sunshine, sea breezes and the odd cool change, sometimes all in the same day. We recommend checking the forecast before you leave, bringing layers and choosing comfortable shoes for time spent around the festival.
It is also worth reviewing the official Tidal Seafood Festival program before travelling. Event organisers will have the most current details on festival dates, session times, transport options, parking, accessibility and any bookings needed for particular experiences.
A little planning leaves more room for the enjoyable parts of the day. Arrive with enough time to soak up the festival energy, find our team at the BBQ and fish taco service, and avoid rushing between food and entertainment. If the eight-course dinner is on your must-do list, organise tickets before the day so you can relax knowing your evening plans are sorted.
Book Your Festival Feast with Team Westernport
The Tidal Seafood Festival offers several ways to enjoy food prepared by our team, whether you are stopping by for BBQ dishes, picking up fish tacos or sitting down for the special cocktail and eight-course dinner on 18 September.
For the most accurate dinner information, including tickets currently on sale and event details, use the official Tidal Seafood Festival dinner page as your guide. With plans in place, you can focus on what matters, good seafood, good company and a memorable coastal day in San Remo.
