Festivals and fun are a way of life in Margaret River. From annual events celebrating world-winning wines and lip-smacking food to colourful festivities focusing on nature, art, leisure and life, you will find something of interest for each and every member of your family throughout the year.

Why not start with the Annual Wine Festival held each November?

Likely the best known and most popular of Margaret River event, the annual Wine Festival will be held this year from November 16 - 19. Now in its 15th year, the festival offers more than 60 wine, food, art and entertainment events over four days, throughout the Margaret River region encompassing Busselton in the north and Augusta in the south.

Visitors to the festival will be treated to jazz, blues, and classic concerts or food and wine matched dining, celebrity chef cooking classes and tours of art studios, the chocolate factory or regional cheese farms and olive groves. For those who want to sample it all at one venue for one day, don't miss the festival's hub event the "Fusion" of the region at Pioneer Park, Bussell Highway Cowaramup on November 18. Children’s food menus are also available.
