Countdown to Festival!
 
Seven weeks until we open the Volvo Ocean Lovers Festival 2022. Time to mark some dates in the diary to dive in with us and celebrate lots of ocean loving activities and free outdoor events including the return of the marvellous Marina DeBris 'trashion' parade at our festival hub.

Sunset Screening
Join us for a free beachside sunset open air screening of the fabulous Girls Can’t Surf film on March 12th.  Bring a blanket or chair, BYO picnic dinner for the family and spread out in the park as the sun goes down to watch this superb film and meet some of the cast and makers.

Turn Up to Clean Up
Did you know we collected 43 kg of rubbish in an hour at our first Ocean Lovers Festival in 2019!! Take 3 For The Sea are back to help organise our 2022 Big Bondi Beach Clean and so are a bunch of other devoted organisations including teams like the Sea Bees who will be giving us some underwater clean-up help. Groups getting involved can fly their flag at the Festival so register now and come down on Saturday March 12 in front of the Bondi Surf Bather’s Lifesaving Club. Individuals or groups can join the clean- up crew from 10am for just an hour and you will make an ocean impact. If you have questions about the clean up please email the Take 3 coordinator Christine Tapara at  Christine@take3.org
