Unmissable Busselton Jetty 160th Birthday Celebrations
Description
A community celebration 160 years in the making.
The Busselton Jetty 160th Anniversary is a once-in-a-generation community event taking place on Sunday 26 October 2025 at the Busselton Foreshore. As Western Australia’s most iconic jetty turns 160, locals and visitors are invited to join a free day of entertainment, heritage stories, and family fun by the bay.
For 160 years, the Jetty has been more than just a jetty – it has been the heart of Busselton. Built in 1865, saved by community spirit, and still thriving today, it connects people, history, and the ocean. This milestone is not only a chance to reflect on the past but also to celebrate the future of this much-loved landmark.
