Events

You don't need to look very far to find an excuse to enjoy yourself on the Mornington Peninsula, whether it's at an event celebrating the stunning beaches or the farm-fresh food and superb wine, designer golf courses or renowned artists.

Beachside events
Head to the beach and join in the excitement of the Portsea Swim Classic, one of Australia's largest open water swims, or witness the spectacular displays at the Frankston Sand Sculpting Championship.

Watch as the peloton swarms up Arthurs Seat for the fourth stage of the Jayco Herald Sun Tour, Australia's oldest cycling stage race.

Flavours to savour
Revel in the region's gourmet culture at events like the biennial Pinot Noir Celebration in February, the Winter Wine Weekend in June or the Mornington Main Street Food and Wine and Performing Arts Festival in October.

Fine arts
See works by leading local and international artists at the Montalto Sculpture Prize exhibition, or the biennial McClelland Gallery Sculpture Prize. Fill your lungs with the peninsula's creative air at October Art Food Wine, with its abulous festivals, exhibitions, food and wine.
