Ockerfest 2026

Aussie, ready for round three? From 1 October to 1 November, Ockerfest returns to Coogee Bay Hotel, transforming the Garden into Sydney's biggest celebration of backyard legends, cold tinnies and all things unapologetically Australian.

Across four weekends, punters can battle it out in thong tosses, compete for mullet glory, cool off with Bundy Slushies and belt out Aussie classics as DJs keep the party rolling. Throw in best-dressed competitions, plenty of prizes and the big Ocker-Ween finale, and you've got an activation that's equal parts celebration and friendly chaos.

Grab a cold beer, gather your mates and settle into a month of classic Aussie mischief by the beach.

Date: 1 October - 1 November 2026, running Thursday to Sunday each week, 12pm-8pm

Location: The Garden, Coogee Bay Hotel

Ticket: Free entry
