What's On

Kidchella

Get ready to groove to live DJ sets and silent discos, shoot some street-style hoops, ride the Ferris wheel, add some sparkle at the glam bar and more!

Good vibes. Little humans. One big weekend.

The Gold Coast’s happiest festival is back, and it’s bringing the beats, the glitter and all the good vibes.

Kidchella returns 12 to 13 September with two jam-packed days of free family fun.

For one epic weekend, Surfers Paradise transforms into the ultimate beachside festival for kids.

Dance to live DJ beats, spin high on the Ferris wheel, bust a move at the silent disco, shoot hoops, get creative in the Art Studio, hit the skate zone, sparkle up at the Glam Bar and tackle the beach rugby – there’s something for every little festival-goer!

Gather your crew, throw on your brightest festival outfit and get ready to dance, play and make memories together.

Make sure you’re following the Kidchella 2026 Facebook event page for the latest information.

Kidchella is produced by City of Gold Coast.

See you there!
