An annual festival taking place on the final weekend of July, this event finishes with a display of fireworks (around 4,000) launched from a ship in the bay.
What happens?
The nearby beach provides a great vantage point and there are plenty of food stalls, games and festival ceremonies to enjoy if you can make it for the weekend. The event has changed in recent years and is now focused on the fireworks, the location of which changes each year.
This year it will be held at the West District Beach.
