The Gold Coast’s annual contemporary art event is BLEACH*. It began as a tiny side event to the World Championship Tour Quiksilver Pro surfing tournament on the Southern Gold Coast. Bleach* Surfing the Fringe started in 2012 as a prototype project with a $40,000 budget and drew 30,000 visitors over 16 days.

The BLEACH* Festival, now in its 12th year, continues its celebration of art. Their 2023 program includes over 300 artists and 218 performances across 38 events, making it the Gold Coast’s signature arts and culture festival.

So please take advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to be a part of history as the festival celebrates its 12th year from the shoreline of North Burleigh to the valley of Currumbin and the tidal flow of the Nerang River.

Here’s what to expect at the 12th BLEACH* Festival.

Love Your Local North Burleigh Hub

August 4 to 6 and 11 to 13

There are many activities at the North Burleigh Hub, whether engaging in dance performances with the sand between your toes or listening to some of the Gold Coast’s most excellent musicians.

Enjoy the River Songs series, which features musical duo Yirinda, who blend ancient Aboriginal language with kaleidoscopic harmonies, the adventurous musical pairing known as Shugorei and ‘the sorceress of percussion,’ Claire Edwardes, the only Australian artist to win the APRA Art Music Luminary Award four times.

Meet Poncho, a Latino-loving, eccentric figure that liquefies the English language and takes you on an insane, amusing voyage of narrative and physical humour. Alternatively, explore the tantalising world of YUMMY ICONIC, a great mash-up of beautiful burlesque, amazing circus, and outrageous drag acts.

Gold Coast Regional Botanic Gardens

August 11 – 13

The Gold Coast Regional Botanic Gardens is a 31-hectare haven of beauty and tranquillity located just off a busy stretch of Ashmore Road in Benowa. There’s much to see and do inside for people of all ages, including rose, bush food, butterfly gardens, and a sensory garden with plants designed to excite the five senses.

ANZAC Day, which falls on April 25, is an important national holiday in Australia. It is the anniversary of the First World War’s most significant fight in which Australian and New Zealander soldiers participated. Early morning memorial services and rituals are held at military memorials nationwide.

For convenient access to all the ANZAC Day activities, you can reserve a stay at St. Tropez Resort. The St. Tropez Holiday Apartments are well situated in Surfers Paradise’s bustling centre, just a short stroll from the most famous patrolled beach. Also, the resort is around 30 kilometres from Coolangatta Airport and 90 kilometres from Brisbane International Airport.

Here is a schedule of the RSL Surfers Paradise Sub Branch’s ANZAC Day activities to assist in your planning.

ANZAC Day Activities

The Parade

Be mindful of arriving early because many people attend the dawn service. It starts with the ANZAC Day Parade, which serves as the focal point of the commemorations and offers a chance to show support for both past and present service members.

Cadets, other community residents, and present and former Defense personnel participate in the ANZAC Day march. Around 4:45 am, they will assemble at 9 Beach Road in Surfers Paradise (outside the subway). At 5 am, the Dawn Parade begins on Beach Road.

Dawn Service

The Dawn Service is at The Esplanade’s Monument from 5:30 to 7:00 am. The ANZAC Memorial is on the Esplanade, on the other side of Trickett Street. The Dawn Service is a solemn ceremony steeped in tradition. 

Following the Dawn Service, the Gunfire Breakfast is at the Diggers and Sports Club (formerly Surfers Paradise RSL). Individuals with valid RSL QLD membership cards are free; everyone else must donate gold coins.

Main Ceremony

You can also join the main ANZAC Day ceremony in Cavill Park between 12:00 and 1:00 pm. There are refreshments at the Diggers and Sports Club after. Also, the classic Australian game “Two Up” begins at 2:00 pm. 

Australian soldiers created the traditional game “Two-up” during World War I, and it is now customary to play it on Anzac Day at pubs and RSL clubs nationwide. A designated “spinner” flings two pennies or coins into the air when playing two-up. Players wager on whether the coins will land with one head and one tail (known as “Ewan”) or if they will land with both heads (obverse) and tails (reverse) up.

Thousands of people attend the annual Anzac Day ceremony. Book your Surfers Paradise accommodation as soon as possible to ensure you have time to attend the ANZAC Day dawn service.

Surfers Paradise Accommodation

You may unwind in one of the St. Tropez resort’s spacious, airy, self-contained apartments with private balconies, furnished living areas, and a full kitchen.

Be aware that the festival is only open to people at least 18 years old. All participants must present a photo ID, so bring your driver’s license, passport, or proof of age card.

Since it began in 2017, the festival centred on tunes, brews, and simply hanging out has drawn large crowds and featured various brewers. On August 27 and 28, visit Kurrawa Park if you want to sample the newest beers from Australia or if you want to hang out with your friends.

Yes, two full days of music, beverages, and entertainment. So, in addition to the consistent classics from the brewers you love, don’t miss out on the abundance of festival-exclusive and limited-release beers. Gather your group and make your reservations immediately because last year’s tickets sold out in a flash.

Festival Brewer Lineup

Are you a newbie or a beer connoisseur? Whichever you are, you’ll have a challenging but fun time choosing from the 50 brewers this year at Crafted!

Balter Brewing

Your taste receptors come first is Balter’s central tenet. A cool can and a hip spot to hang out are fine, but if their beers don’t make you pucker up and smile, then we haven’t done our job.

Beer is more than just a beverage to Balter. It unites tribes and is a part of many memorable moments in life. So be sure to enjoy the beer Balter Brewing Company offers from Currumbin’s lovely shores.

Try their XPA, a fruity beverage that will send your taste buds into the joy zone with its tropical and flowery aromatics. Also, try Captain Sensible. This ale has a texture and flavour that defy its mid-strength status by balancing refined malt undertones with vibrant hop tastes.

Frank’s Cider

Here’s an exciting brand you might want to find at the festival, Frank’s. The Clark Family uses their pears, apples, Tasmanian raspberries, and cherries to make Frank’s Cider. It is a medium-sweet, transparent, sparkling cider with a taste of actual fruit that is crisp and energizing.

A great product requires time to prepare, and Frank’s has been around for over a century. Their trees, some of which are over 160 years old and come from Australia’s oldest heritage orchards, ripen later than any other in the Huon Valley. The flavour results from Tasmania’s chilly temperature and lengthy seasons during which fruit ripens on the tree.

Moffat Beach Brewing Co

Everyone, in the opinion of Moffat Beach Brewing Co, needs a break from the routine. They produce some of Australia’s most celebrated craft beers and some of the finest beers on the Sunshine Coast. Their beers are influenced by the people and places of the Sunshine Coast, from time-honoured favourites to seasonal releases.

Make sure to try them, too and enjoy them with your mates.

Of course, the event also features a fantastic food selection, like pillow-soft bao buns and low and slow barbecued brisket, which will have you drooling! And while you consume food and beverages, take in the festival’s stellar musical lineup. Remember the indie rock party-starters from Saturday and the relaxed acoustic and rhythm-heavy vibes from Sunday.
