As the summer sun casts a golden glow over Corio Bay, Geelong is preparing to transform into a hub of excitement, colour, and nautical spectacle. The 2026 Festival of Sails, Australia’s largest annual keelboat regatta, promises five days of thrilling yacht racing, waterfront festivities, and family-friendly fun — and this year, it’s bigger and better than ever. For decades, sailors from across Australia and beyond have flocked to Geelong for this iconic event. But the Festival of Sails isn’t just for those who live for the wind in their sails. It’s a celebration of community, music, food, and culture, set against the stunning backdrop of Victoria’s waterfront.
