2024 Australia Day Celebrations

Australia Day is a time for all Australians to reflect, respect and celebrate and the best way to do this is to do something Australian – get together with family and friends or go to a local Australia Day event.

This year, the Gold Coast Australia Day Celebrations will be held on Friday 26 January at the HOTA Outdoor Stage. Following the invite-only citizenship ceremony, this alcohol-free, family friendly, free event kicks off 4pm and concludes at 8pm.

Enjoy a live and local music line-up on the HOTA Outdoor Stage from 4pm, limited space available. There’ll also be plenty of free kids’ activities, as well as an assortment of delicious food trucks and a fireworks finale at approximately 7.50pm.

Getting there: make your journey active and walk, ride, scoot or skate to the event! If driving your car is a must, please consider carpooling. Parking at the HOTA precinct will be free of charge on Australia Day but limited.

City of Gold Coast’s Australia Day Celebrations are assisted by the Australian Government through the National Australia Day Council.
