SA: Iconic Tunarama festival might be revived, says Mayor

News

A 60 year tradition has come to an end in Port Lincoln, with the iconic Tunarama Festival having been held for the last time in its current form.

The organising committee announced earlier this month that it was winding up, but Port Lincoln Mayor Diana Mislov says the festival may continue albeit in a reimagined format.

Cr Mislov told the Port Lincoln Times she had been contacted by many community members, and she feels there is enough push for the event to continue in some form.

She is encouraging people to register their interest in attending a community meeting on the matter.

The Council is taking possession of custom-made equipment and will assume ownership of branding and trademarks in order to safeguard the essence of the event.
