Renowned for its vibrant social scene as well as on-water action, the Airlie Beach Race Week is a party-goers paradise, and the evening atmosphere at the Festival Village promises to get the crowd moving to the beat, serenaded by a host of live performers.
From the sweet reggae beats of ‘The Feels’ to the dramatic drum sets of the Mason Rack Band and the acoustic wizardry of Matt Angell, the live music boasts both huge variety and quality entertainment.
Overlooking the Coral Sea, the Festival Village offers 180-degree views of the ocean, an ideal place to watch the sunset over Pioneer Bay.
Delicious Treats
Inside the sailing club you will find the bistro open every day, offering pub classics like burgers, pizzas, steaks, pasta and of course seafood. Dine inside the spacious restaurant area or head outside to the large al fresco balcony with views of the sea.
Throughout Race Week, the Festival Village will host a variety of food vans who will operate under the stars. Both community members and sailors are invited to gather and soak up the atmosphere, enjoying the festivities while sampling the array of delicious treats from the food vans while moving to the beats of the live music band.
Dine on the lawn and watch the boats bob on the water nearby while mingling with nautical folk who love sharing a good time and a good story.
