About Picton Maritime Festival
The Picton Maritime Festival is a community event on the foreshore, run by a local trust. The organisers have announced the date of the 2027 festival, its 22nd, but not yet the programme.
If you are in Picton that weekend, expect the foreshore to be busy; if you are catching a ferry, allow extra time.
