Bluewater Festival 2017
Spend a day by the shore to celebrate the Brisbane to Gladstone Yacht Race.
Overview
Every year, come Good Friday, two things happen in Shorncliffe. Firstly, the sea-faring vessels competing in the Brisbane to Gladstone Yacht Race sail by. Secondly, Bluewater Festival holds a party to celebrate.
Watching boats is on the agenda, however, given that the day starts with early morning yoga on the beach and ends with fireworks, there's more than that on offer. Catch some live tunes, enjoy the sight of dragon boats, peruse market stalls, grab a bite from gourmet food vendors or just find a spot of grass to relax. That's how you turn Good Friday into a great Friday.
