2018 Gold Coast Show
2018 Gold Coast Show
FREE at the Broadwater Parklands and Owen Park
What you can expect…
The Broadwater Parklands and Owen Park Southport is the new home of the 2018 Gold Coast Show on August 31 to September 2 2018, and for the first time ever it will be completely FREE to attend.
Celebrating its 112th year, this landmark Gold Coast event will be reimagined at the spectacular Broadwater Parklands, becoming the very first agricultural show of its kind to be held beside the water.
The Broadwater Parklands will come alive from the Southport Aquatic Centre through to the Sundale Bridge including a spectacular side-show alley, woodchopping, baby animal farms, arts and crafts, camel rides on the beach, live music, traditional show food, incredible roving entertainment, unicorn rides, mermaid appearances, fireworks and the gigantic Showbag Pavilion.
The Show footprint will also consist of a satellite location at nearby Owen Park and the Southport Pony Club, that will bring back a full Equestrian Program, the cattle and the not-to-be missed Dog Show.
In a festival first, the Gold Coast Show will take also over Southport with a nightly feast for the senses called LUMINOCITY, set to transform the Broadwater and dSouthport CBD hub by night with spectacular light installations, a laser and holographic show and fireworks.
The Show’s connection to the community has never been stronger, delivering a host of local talent, expertise and support and packs a serious punch of cultural, artistic and traditional show elements.
Here is a snapshot of what you can expect.
