Why
The People’s Blockade of the World’s Largest Coal Port is one of the biggest — and most powerful — climate protests on Earth.
In 2026, Rising Tide is taking a strategic pause from hosting the Blockade to focus on building tactical strength and leadership, so that our movement will be stronger than ever.
Then, in February 2027…
our iconic protestival will be back– a tsunami of people-power! Bigger. Louder. More effective than ever.
You do not want to miss this one.
LOCK IT IN: Thursday, February 25 - Tuesday, March 2nd.
- Live music and protestival vibes
- Family-friendly activities and kids’ space
- Workshops, forums and political discussions
- Grassroots democracy and movement-building
- A huge community campsite with a sustainable village atmosphere
And of course…
Mass, peaceful direct action to disrupt Australia’s single largest contribution to the climate crisis — the world’s largest coal port.
Together, we’ll keep building an unstoppable movement for climate defence.
So save the dates, get time off work, invite your family, your friends, your neighbours – your whole community! Let’s build this one up to create a seismic shift on climate and fossil fuel politics across this land.
For this one, we need everyone!
On the lands and waters of the Awabakal and Worimi Peoples; join us to make history.
