SwinksFest 2026

Join us on May 1st as we gather to celebrate the incredible life and legacy of Mark Swinkels. Mark's greatest gift was bringing people together, and in that spirit, this day is for everyone. Whether you were a lifelong friend, a recent acquaintance, or simply someone touched by his magic from afar, you are welcome. If Mark's story resonates with you, you belong here.

Expect a day filled with everything Mark loved: good people, great conversations, fantastic live music, and plenty of playful fun. It will be a celebration in its truest form, just as he would have wanted.

Beyond the celebration, we are coming together for a cause. We will have exclusive merchandise for sale and a silent auction curated by our amazing community. All proceeds will be donated to support two causes close to our hearts: Norfolk Island Community Surf Lifesaving initiatives and Rapid Onset Pulmonary Edema (ROPE) research.

Grab your ticket, join the community, and let's make this an unforgettable day in honour of an unforgettable legend.

Know what’s Happening Next — before everyone else does.
