The Seething Freshwater Sardine Festival

Since sardines were once again introduced to the river in 2005, local people have celebrated the capture of this magical food with a festival. Bands and entertainment all day, delicious fresh food and drink stalls keep everyone refreshed, arts and crafts are available to peruse, and a procession takes us to the river to watch the haul of the sardines, which are of course taken to the famous Sardine BBQ.
