Seafood, entertainment and fun will be back on the menu later this year when Shore Leave Festival returns to the Midwest Wednesday 23 to Sunday 27 April.

Now in its 5th year, and being delivered by locals for the first time, the City of Greater Geraldton and Mid West Ports Authority have once again thrown their support behind the iconic festival.

City of Greater Geraldton Mayor Jerry Clune and Mid West Ports Authority CEO Damian Tully highlighted what a drawcard the event is for the region.

“Shore Leave Festival is always a big hit with both locals as well as visitors and I am sure this year will be no different,” said Mayor Clune.

“The City along with the Port have always been staunch supporters of the event and I look forward to seeing our community come together, enjoying all the wonderful happenings that will be going on and welcoming the many visitors who will be stopping by to join in the fun,” continued Mayor Clune.

Mr Tully said he was eager to see what the event has in store this time round.

“Shore Leave Festival aligns brilliantly with the Port’s commitment to both the Midwest and tourism,” said Mr Tully.

“I encourage anyone with an interest in great food, live entertainment and experiencing the best of the Midwest to block out the dates and climb aboard for Shore Leave Festival 2025.”

Shore Leave Festival 2025 will be delivered by Tourism Geraldton Mid West and has received $110,000 from both the City of Greater Geraldton and Mid West Ports Authority.

The event will take place throughout the Midwest between Wednesday 23 to Sunday 27 April and feature a range of both free and ticketed attractions.
