Join us for a fabulous, family-friendly day in the park.
Bring your picnic blankets and find a spot under a tree

while you enjoy some great live entertainment on stage.

 

Along with live musical performances and DJs we have the hotly-anticipated, and now in its third year  GOLD COAST Drag  Pageant! Watch the guys and gals strut their stuff and see who sashays away crowned Miss Gold Coast or Mr Gold Coast!! 

You can grab a bite from one of the food trucks and stroll through a tempting array of market stalls.

We have a safe space for trans and neurodiverse folks, designed in consultation with the community, with plenty of snacks and activities as well as a low-sensory chillout zone.

​

With face-painting and glitter at our Decoration Station, as well as roving circus performers, as well as a beautiful playground and nature-based adventure setting, there's plenty to keep the kids entertained all day.

​

Furbabies aren't forgotten with the return of our Doggy Pageant and our competition for the gayest dog (or cat) costume! Every rainbow puppy gets a tennis ball!

​

For adults there's our famous festival bar which will stay open until 10pm for a massive after party starring international DJ Mark Dynamix. It's time to break out the glowsticks and UV outfits as you dance the night away at our first ever After Glow official festival after party.
