Port Stephens Creative Crawl

Australians know all about a pub crawl, but how about a creative crawl? Your favourite local creative businesses have come together on a new initiative, PORT STEPHENS CREATIVE CRAWL, and you’re invited to take part in the fun!

From 1 to 19 July 2026, Port Stephens Creative Crawl will bring together creatives from around region, with a simple yet powerful idea: to unite local creative business in a celebration of local art, community and culture.

The Creative Crawl is an adventure through Port Stephen’s local creative businesses. Participants visit multiple shops, connecting with the local art culture and discovering hidden gems. Using the Creative Crawl Passport, participants can collect a stamp at every shop they visit, and be in the running to win 2 x $150 vouchers for The Little Beach Boathouse, a $250 voucher for art from a participating business or a Moonshadow TQC Cruises family whale watching cruise.
