Equinox Festival- A Weekend to Remember
Inverloch Equinox Festival 2026
Inverloch Equinox Festival Wrap-Up 🌿✨Sunshine, sea breezes and a festival full of heart… the Inverloch Equinox Festival delivered a near-perfect weekend on the Bass Coast.
From the first moments to the final farewell, the energy was unmistakable. The crowds were vibrant, the atmosphere warm and welcoming, and the feedback speaks for itself. An incredible 93% of survey respondents described the weekend as amazing, with 91% already planning their return. Even more exciting, over half of attendees were visitors to Inverloch, and over 80% explored local shops, cafés and businesses, supporting the town beyond the festival itself.
The highlights? They came thick and fast. Live music lit up the coastline with standout performances and a crowd that danced, laughed and soaked up every note. The Glade buzzed with connection, helped along by a thoughtfully designed layout that made it easy to gather, explore and enjoy. And yes… the seagulls made a few cameo appearances that had everyone smiling 🐦
Across the weekend, experiences shone in their own unique ways. The After Dark Tours captivated with stories both eerie and entertaining, the cheese and wine evening impressed with its quality and local flavour, and the Wellbeing Expo created a calm, inviting space for discovery and renewal. Out at Wattle Bank Farm, the gentle presence of horses offered a deeply calming and grounding experience for those who joined the meditation sessions, a quiet highlight for many.
The vision was simple: showcase Inverloch by day and by night, encourage people to explore more, stay longer and return again. By every measure, that vision came to life.
To everyone who attended, supported, volunteered and brought the festival to life… thank you. You made it something truly special.
In addition to all the hard working volunteers, The Inverloch Tourism Association also recognises the valuable financial support from festival sponsors Visit Victoria, Bass Coast Shire, Community Bank Inverloch, The office of Mary Aldred, Inverloch Lions Club, Alex Scott Inverloch and Evens Petroleum along with all ITA members who continue to support the ITA’s efforts to build the visitor economy of Inverloch in the interests of all community, visitors and business.
🌿 We can’t wait to do it all again.
