It is with deep regret and heavy hearts that we have made the exceedingly difficult decision to cancel the January 2021 Portarlington Mussel Festival. As you know Covid-19 has turned our world upside down.
We have not taken this decision lightly, but after considerable discussions, including taking into account the current positions of both state and federal governments, the health and wellbeing of our community and festival visitors must be our priority. The virus is unpredictable and rules are being changed and we feel it is appropriate to make a decision now rather than being forced to do so closer to our event.
