The Chintsa Sardine Festival is back —

and it’s bigger than ever!

Join us for 10 days of celebration as we honour one of nature’s most spectacular events: the annual sardine run that passes our shores every winter.

From marine education talks and art exhibitions to trail runs, live music, eco-activities, and a buzzing Saturday street festival, there’s something for everyone — whether you’re a local, a visitor, a foodie, an adventurer, or just here for the vibe.

Hosted by the Hello Chintsa hospitality community, this is a festival by locals, for everyone — celebrating our coastline, our community, and the magic that happens when nature puts on a show.
