Bluewater Festival

Organised by the Sandgate & Bayside Chamber of Commerce, the famous Bluewater Festival held at Shorncliffe Pier is one not to be missed.

The festival kicks off on Thursday afternoon from 4-8pm with a relaxing afternoon by the water. Enjoy a range of food trucks, live music and cool drinks.

Then on Good Friday the Festival is in full swing from 9:30am-8pm. Moora Park, Shorncliffe is jam packed with entertainment through the day with live bands, rides, food and markets all culminating into a beach party and fireworks in the evening.

The festival is held on the scenic foreshore at Shorncliffe in conjunction with the annual Brisbane to Gladstone Yacht Race (Friday).

Back in 1997 Anne Hobbs and her creative team held the very first Bluewater Festival which has now grown to be one of the best events held on Good Friday.
