The Portland’s Nyamat Yarkeen Karween, Upwelling Festival and Three Bays Running Festival is a Community led Festival that has been running since 2010. Celebrating the Ocean and honouring the Bonney Upwelling, which is a natural phenomenon that occurs in only a few places in the world. Nutrient rich cold waters are pushed up to the Victorian coast, creating a feeding frenzy that lasts up to seven months.
The community hold a parade, a call to the ocean, a First Nations Dance program that honours the Koontapool, the Southern Right Whales. There is a musical line up, markets, art walks and workshops, science talks, wandering acrobats, facepainting, and food stalls.
