What's on in the Gold Coast

Queensland’s vibrant city by the sea is a playground for all ages, with an unrivalled energy that pulses through your veins. The Gold Coast's iconic stretch of coastline plays backdrop for a huge line-up of entertainment, sports and endurance events.

Witness surfing legends drop in on the famous Snapper Rocks break during Corona Open. Sleepy surf town, Coolangatta, becomes a hive of activity – and brings its very own music festival too.

Lace up your runners and join the thousands of fellow athletes for the heart-pumping Gold Coast Marathon, or experience a race with a little more rev during the Supercars Gold Coast 500. This year, Supercars returns to race under starry skies, and brings more action with helicopter tours and impressive music line-up across two stages inside the world-class track.

Get your dose of culture during Bleach* The Festival, meet music legends at Blues on Broadbeach (one of Australia's biggest free music festivals) and swap sandcastles for sculptures at Swell, when Currumbin Beach transforms into a sun-soaked gallery of thought-provoking artworks.

Add these Gold Coast events to your calendar and get ready to pack your bags.
