Hamilton Reach Winter Beach Party

Overview

Brisbane might not be a beach city, but you can still find patches of sand by the water if you know where to go. Real spots, too — we're not just talking about South Bank's man-made version. Some don't even require venturing out of the city, or even all that far from the CBD. Hamilton Reach at Northshore is one such location, and it's making the most of it to welcome in the new season.

Sure, a free winter beach party mightn't sound like your standard kind of shindig. But let's be honest — Brissie's climate is perfect for it. Relax by the river, soak up the sun, splash around in a kayak, play games on the shore and pretend that winter isn't coming.

Also on offer between 11am–3pm on Saturday, June 1: barbecue masterclasses, wine tastings, beach limbo, food trucks and live music. And, if you arrive early, a free picnic blanket will be given away to the first 100 people.
