The Festival of Sails annually attracts around 300 yachts and 4,500 sailing competitors to Melbourne and Geelong over the Australia Day holiday period.
With over 15 different race series catering from the highest performance Grand Prix racers to trailable cruisers, the varied race action is sure to offer something for everyone, and spectators will certainly not be disappointed.
First held in 1844, the Festival of Sails is Victoria’s oldest ongoing sporting event, and the largest annual keel boat regatta in the Southern Hemisphere.
Plus, there’s a new addition to the 2022 event. Gigs by Festival of Sails will see 50 performances over 8 days in 9 central Geelong venues. Best of all – they’re free to watch!

The Royal Geelong Yacht Club take great pride in its role as host of this regatta, expanding its reputation as a global player each year!
This event is proudly supported by the City of Greater Geelong – via Geelong Major Events funding.
