Summer is one of our favourite times of year on Flinders Island. The island comes alive with a variety of unique and intimate events which offer the perfect opportunity for locals and visitors alike to celebrate all that the island has to offer.

Now in its 6th year, the Furneaux Islands Festival is a celebration of culture, food, art and music with a plethora of events around the island, spanning over three days.
