Ulladulla Blessing of the Fleet Festival
Held Easter weekend annually
Fishing is an important element of Ulladulla`s economy and the Blessing of the Fleet is an honoured tradition kept alive by the area`s descendants of the original Italian fishing community and by the proud town in general.
There are a myriad of colourful and exciting events held throughout the Festival over the Easter weekend and beyond. Including the Easter Blessing of the Fleet parade and day of entertainment on Easter Sunday.
This true family festival will be staged over all three days of Easter holiday but the most significant element will be the actual Blessing of the Fleet, on the morning of Easter Sunday.
The festivities will conclude with a magnificent fireworks display, over Ulladulla Harbour on Easter Sunday. There is also the Harbour Markets on Easter Monday.

Brought the kids along? Why not do something everyone can enjoy, like go to Funland Timezone, or catch a movie at the local cinema. Want the kids to get some exercise but still have fun? Why not give putt putt golf a try, or perhaps take some surf lessons; fun and educational!
The Shoalhaven region also offers numerous events, from the blessing of the fleet in Ulladulla which takes place every Easter, to events like the Annual Milton Scarecrow Festival. And let’s not forget all the local markets which take place every month.
