Experience a three-day celebration of classic boats, maritime culture and cruising on the East Gippsland Lakes.
Paynesville Classic Boat Rally and Maritime Festival offers opportunities to get up close with the magnificent boats and witness them in action throughout the weekend on land and water.
Get excited for the Grand Parade taking place on the Saturday, where you can view all the boats sail past through the McMillan Strait into the open waters of Lake Victoria.
Spend the day’s relaxing on the village green, surrounded by food vendors, entertainers, children’s activities, and masterclasses at The Main Sail Marquee. Their vendor market will have you filling up your own boat in no time with local boating products and accessories.
Mark your calendar's for the 1st, 2nd and 3rd of March for the perfect weekend away in the charming village of Paynesville.
