The Sunshine Coast Ocean Festival is a vibrant annual celebration bringing together our coastal community to honour and protect the ocean that sustains us. Organized by the Sunshine Coast Conservation Association (SCCA) and RhizomeUp! Media, the festival offers a dynamic platform for education, inspiration, and action — fostering a deeper connection between people and the marine environment.

The 2026 program will include online learning, film screenings, a community celebration day, and hands-on citizen science opportunities. Full program details will be announced in spring 2026.
