Arno Bay has a number of annual local events where visitors are always welcome!
New Years Day
To celebrate the coming of the New Year the local community organises a festival each year. Every year is slightly different with activities for all ages. In the past ervents have included a tractor pull, a street parade, sand-dune golf classic, and children’s craft activities. The summer weather brings more visitors to the town which brings a great atmosphere to this special event each year.
