Portarlington Mussel Festival

Portarlington is one of our seaside resort towns which swell over summer with hundreds of campers and holiday makers taking advantage of our magnificent region. It’s a perfect time for one of the township’s major events – the Portarlington Mussel Festival. Held each year on the second Saturday of January the festival has been running since 2007 and celebrates the town’s link with the bay and the tasty morsel; the mussel.

Portarlington’s mussels are one of the important industries of the small seaside town. The mussels harvested from Port Philip Bay are well regarded being sweet in flavour, low in fat and high in protein making not only a tasty treat but a pretty healthy choice also.
