Be brave!
There’s no better feeling on a long night in the middle of winter than snuggling up with a hot water bottle in your pyjamas. Especially after an ocean swim under the stars. That’s right. Once the sun sets on June 20th, on the longest night of the year, the brave, the wild and the curious are taking the plunge.
The Longest Night is a midwinter performance, music and swimming festival, calling on you to embrace the un-embraceable. For swimmers and on-lookers alike, join us to bring the night alive in the dead of winter.
Presented by artist Kit Wise and musician Grant Siedle in partnership with Linden New Art celebrating the winter solstice.
Register below to watch, splash and dash or swim the distance. Go on, be brave.

Take a dip in the cool waters of Port Phillip Bay on The Longest Night! Pick from one of three events to become a winter warrior!
Each course will begin on the St Kilda main beach and will utilise Poles approximately 150 meters off the shore. Poles and kayakers will be well lit to aid navigation for swimmers. Several illuminated buoys will also be used for safety and navigational purposes.
