There’s nothing like the glitz and glamour of the Gold Coast – especially when the sky is illuminated by beautiful fireworks displays. Whether you’re part of a family with young children or you’re young at heart, the colour and the spectacle of fireworks never fails to delight.
Check out our list of upcoming Gold Coast fireworks events coming up – you definitely don’t want to miss out!
Carols on the Beach
Starting at 6 pm, Carols on the Beach is a brilliant (and free!) way to get into the Christmas spirit with your family. The fun ends with fireworks at 8pm, which is definitely worth staying for. The kids will adore the music, the atmosphere, and the amazing light show afterwards. You may even get a glimpse of the big guy in red.
