St Kilda Beach Tennis Festival 2027
28–31 January 2027, St Kilda West Beach. Four days of beach tennis, including the ITF-sanctioned Victoria Beach Tennis Open.
More to play. More to see. More to be part of.
The Victoria Beach Tennis Open was a 2026 Tennis Victoria Most Outstanding Tournament finalist. Now we’re taking what people loved about it and making more room for everyone to join in.
The St Kilda Beach Tennis Festival brings the action, the beach and the St Kilda atmosphere together. Watch top-level beach tennis, step onto the sand for a Come & Try, join a clinic or make a day of it with friends. At the heart of the festival is the Victoria Beach Tennis Open 2027, with events for different ages and playing experiences.
Come for the tennis. Stay for St Kilda.
The festival is more than the matches. Enjoy the beach-club setting by West Beach Pavilion, with music, activations and opportunities to get involved throughout the four days.
Sunrise yoga and more festival experiences are being planned. Full program and timings to be announced.
You don't need to enter a tournament to be part of the festival. Come and watch, bring friends, explore what's happening or join a Come & Try.
At the heart of it: Victoria Beach Tennis Open 2027.
