Summer daze at Seaworks

Seaworks Williamstown will come alive on Saturday 13 December, from 10am – 5pm, as BIG Summer Daze brings a full day of entertainment, market shopping, food, and family fun by the bay.

Perfect for those chasing last-minute gifts, the BIG Summer Daze Market will feature a vibrant mix of local makers, artists, designers, and creatives.

From handmade treasures to unique homewares and festive treats, there’s something for everyone and plenty of reasons to support the west’s incredible community of stallholders.

The entertainment line-up is set to thrill audiences of all ages, with roaming performances by the Giant Seagulls (hold onto your chips!), incredible aerial artistry from The Sway, the high-energy soul sounds of Sweethearts, and the crowd-favourite Super Amazing Dolphin Show is sure to leave everyone with a huge smile on their faces.

Visitors can also enjoy delicious offerings from a range of food trucks, while the Pirates Tavern will be open throughout the day.

And of course, a day at Seaworks wouldn’t be complete without a nod to maritime heritage.

A beautiful wooden boat display will be on show, celebrating the craftsmanship and seafaring history of Melbourne’s West.

BIG Summer Daze is a free community event supported by the Westgate Tunnel Neighbourhood Fund and will take place at Seaworks, a working maritime precinct on the Williamstown waterfront.
