Cuttlefest Event Interest - your chance to get involved!
The City of Whyalla is seeking expressions of interest from business and organisations interested in participating in Cuttlefest for 2025.
With the Annual Giant Australian Cuttlefish Migration, Whyalla comes alive for Cuttlefest – a celebration over June and July, dedicated to these incredible marine creatures, our ocean environment, and the vibrant community that calls this coastline home.
As Whyalla’s biggest tourism event, Cuttlefest draws visitors from across the country and the world. We want visitors to come and view this spectacle, stay, enjoy our town and the surrounding region.
This is your opportunity to get involved, showcase your business, engage with the community, and be part of something truly extraordinary.
Ways you can get involved:
Join the Whyalla-wide Cuttlefest Scavenger Hunt: Become a stop on the scavenger hunt and drive foot traffic to your business. Reach out to the Events Team if you have something to offer and want to be involved.
Decorate your shops, windows, spaces and places: Create cuttlefish and marine-themed displays to bring the Cuttlefest spirit to life. Keen to be a part of this but not sure where to start, or don’t have the time or resources? Let us know and we can support you to make this happen.
Offer Cuttlefish or marine-themed specials in your restaurant, café, or store: No salt and pepper cuttlefish, but a ‘technicoloured’ milkshake, or glittery/ sparkling mock/cocktail is a must! Think outside the square and get creative!
Host an event to be included in the official Cuttlefest Program: From markets and art exhibits to educational talks and family-friendly activities. Council will once again be presenting the Salty ‘Sea’esta on the June long weekend, more information on this to come!
Want to get involved but not sure how to? Our Events Team is here to help bring your vision to life!
