Easter 2026: What’s on in Robe, South Australia

Robe is the place to be at the best of times, but across the Easter long weekend there’s a buzz in town that can’t be beat. From live music and an Easter fete, to sell-out hot cross buns and an epic surf competition, here’s what’s happening in 2026.

Robe Primary School Easter Fete

On Saturday 4 April, Robe Primary School holds its annual Easter Fete. Head to the school oval for kids amusements and rides – jumping castles, rock climbing, a petting zoo and laser tag included – plus a bunch of food and drink options. There’ll be doughnuts, a barbeque, coffee van and bar. Entry is just a gold donation, so spend your extra coins on the mega raffle if you’re feeling lucky!

Robe Easter Surf Classic

This year marks the 58th Robe Easter Surf Classic, one of Australia’s longest-running surfing competitions. This year is being held on Sunday at Stony Rise with first heat from 7:30am. Take snacks and a blanket to sit on – the action will keep you transfixed for hours.

Pick your own dahlias

Want to have the most stunning Easter lunch table flower arrangements you can imagine? Head 15 minutes out of Robe to Starling Flower Farm on Saturday 4 April (or Thursday 2 April if you're in town early) for a magical morning of flower picking. You’ll go home with a big bucket of gorgeous dahlias, not to mention a bunch of print-worthy photographs and special memories. Book here, and hurry – this popular event is bound to sell out.
