Ulladulla
& Districts Blessing of the Fleet
Festival
Church
and chocolate eggs may be part of Easter
everywhere. But in Ulladulla on the South Coast it
also means festival time as Ulladulla comes alive
for the annual Blessing of the Fleet Festival.
There will be a myriad of colourful and exciting
events held throughout the Festival over the Easter
weekend, the celebrations will be as impressive as
ever, with the return of the annual Festival
Parade.
On Easter Sunday thousands flock to see the Parade,
the Blessing Ceremony, enjoy the entertainment
and activities around the
harbour
and
then marvel at the fireworks display in the evening
over Ulladulla Harbour.
The parade
is the annual pilgrimage to Ulladulla harbour for
the traditional blessing ceremony under the
watchful eye of St Peter, the Patron Saint of the
fisherman and the festival princesses.
The Easter weekend is a time when Ulladulla comes
alive to one of the biggest festivals on the South
Coast. It is a time when the family can enjoy a
relaxing break from every day life as well as enjoy
the celebrations that see people coming back each
year for more.
