Known for their diverse programming across both water and land, the Waterfront Festival expands for 2025 with a new format and new additions.
For the first time, Frankston’s Waterfront Festival will kick off on Friday evening, offering the perfect way to unwind and ease into the weekend. In a huge securement, the festival boasts legendary Aussie duo and UFO anthem-makers, Sneaky Sound System, who are set to headline the mainstage. They will be joined by Sunshine & Disco Faith Choir, Amaru Tribe and Coco Michelle.
The Saturday brings the free and family friendly entertainment and activities. The favourite Rotary Duck Race takes over the creek in a colourful and fun display, the waterfront will be lined with stalls and interactive activities and in the water the Frankston Swim Classic will be underway for people to either participate in or cheer from the sand.
Saturday’s music line-up offers a more relaxed vibe, headed up by indie folk duo Pierce Brothers, who are currently celebrating ten years since their breakout EP, The Night Tree, with a nationwide tour. Also on the bill is the ultra charismatic Queenie, whose powerful voice and heartfelt songwriting never fails to captivate any audience, and nine-piece West African/Cuban collective Ausecuma Beats. There’s also performances by Steph Strings, Lotte Gallagher, George & Noriko and Natasha Kate. As the music winds down, the festival wraps up with a dazzling fireworks display over the bay.

Across both days, food trucks will offer an array of flavours, from local favourites to international fare with the new addition of The World Kitchen. Presented by Ventana, The World Kitchen is a food performance venue showcasing varying cultures and traditions through food. The World Kitchen is the place where sharing food becomes the universal language.
Frankston’s Waterfront Festival is a February must for both friends and family.
