Cooly Carols

Seas and greetings! The much-loved Cooly Carols is returning beachside at Queen Elizabeth Park.

Hosted by the Gold Coast’s very own Nicka35, this free, family-friendly event is the perfect way to celebrate the festive season.

Bring your picnic blanket, friends and family, and settle in for an evening filled with your favourite Christmas carols, a delicious variety of food trucks, and a special visit from the big man in red. The night will finish with a dazzling fireworks finale lighting up the Coolangatta sky.

Auslan interpreters will be on stage to ensure an accessible and welcoming experience for all.
