Parks Alive

One of the best things about living on the Gold Coast is the glorious weather, all year round.  Parks Alive is a great program of markets, music and activities in your local park, taking advantage of the beautiful sunny weekends we all share.

These fantastic musical acts, performances and interactive activities are free across the city each weekend.  Grab a hat and a picnic rug, and head on out to enjoy your local park.
