Arrhh Me Hearties...The Big Dig is very close now Sunday May 18th, 2025! Arrhh there be Treasure!
Pirates invade Port Macquarie….
Heave-ho me hearties!
The 2025 Sunrise Rotary / Port City Bowling Club / MBC Recruitment / Betach Intelligence (MB# 000109215) Big Dig is so much fun!
Town Beach, Port Macquarie on Sunday 18th May, 2025.
The Big Dig Treasure Hunt created by the Rotary Club of Port Macquarie Sunrise to add value to our community by hosting an annual family fun day. In 2025 Project Manager, Peter Orford, is making sure it is bigger and better than ever. A great way to bring together so many young families in our local community and have kids dressing up as pirates to find their treasure in the sand!
With over 1,000 parents and children typically attending we believe the greatest compliment for the event is the number of families who have attended almost every year it has been held.
Registration commences at 9:00am with the first dig (3 & Under) commencing at 10:30am.
The Family BIG DIG will start at 12PM
There are 4 age groups from 0-10 years of age. Tickets are $10 per child and the “THE BIG DIG” at $40 per person. Participants dig for buried treasure (tokens) on the beach and exchange their token for a prize and everyone wins a prize!
But wait, there is so much more.
- Dunking Station (dunk a friend/teacher?)
- Take a selfie in the stocks
- Bungee jumping
- Silent disco
- Face painting
- Coffee cart for the mums and dads
- BBQ tent
- Cup cake tent
This fundraising event is now in its thirteenth year and raises funds for our local community and international projects. Last year our beneficiaries were community organisations that keep our community healthy and happy.
*Pirate outfits are available at Crazy Bargain Warehouse (Settlement City) and Spotlight Port Macquarie or at many locations on-line.
