SeaFire

Presented by City of Gold Coast

Sat 31 May

SeaFire

The tides are high but we’re holding on!

Due to the effects of Cyclone Alfred and some incredibly high tides SeaFire is changing this year, for community safety.

For the first time you’ll be able to view the same spectacular international fireworks competition from not one location, but four!

Surfers Paradise foreshore

Broadbeach – Kurrawa

Broadwater Parklands

HOTA Parklands

The show has been modified so you can now see it in each of the four locations, at the one time of 7pm!

The 18-minute show will showcase the two international competitors Belgium and USA and culminate with a spectacular Aussie fireworks finale.

SeaFire is a FREE family friendly event and is presented by City of Gold Coast.
