There’s something in the water up in Exmouth… and it’s not just the prawns.

It’s the spirit of celebration, the buzz of community, and the unmistakable sound of boots stomping under fairy lights. Welcome to the Whalebone Hoe-Down — one of the most legendary nights of the Gascoyne Food Festival, and the event that proves no one throws a party like the northwest.

This isn’t your average festival night. This is where the coast meets the country, where prawns meet pizzas, and where — yes — horses come to the bar. (You read that right.)

What to Expect

• Line Dancing Under the StarsNever danced before? Doesn’t matter. Everyone joins in at the Hoe- Down. Think big country beats, wild laughter, and easy-to-follow moves that'll have you two-stepping in no time. It's full of fun, freedom, and infectious energy.

• Exmouth Prawn Pizzas, Burgers & MoreWhalebone Brewing Co pulls out all the stops with a decadent, down-to-earth festival menu. Their now-famous Exmouth prawn pizzas are sticky, spicy, and utterly addictive. Add in juicy burgers, local bites and a menu that loves the region’s produce as much as you do.

• Craft Beer & Good CheerSip your way through Whalebone’s finest craft brews — crisp lagers, pale malts, citrusy sours — all made right there in Exmouth. Prefer a cocktail or two? You’ll find plenty to keep your spirits high.

• Live Music & Local VibesWith guitars strumming, vocals soaring and dancefloors bouncing, the Whalebone Hoe-Down delivers big on atmosphere. It’s raw, real and ridiculously fun. And the community vibe? You’ll feel like you’ve known everyone for years.

• And Yes — A Horse at the BarIt’s not a gimmick. It’s just Exmouth. This is a town where locals ride in, kick off the dust, and join the party like they never left the saddle. You can’t make this stuff up — but you can be there to see it.
