Brunswick Heads Festivals and Events

Treasure & fun at the 10th Brunswick Heads Old & Gold festival Sat 11 June 

Brunswick Heads eco-friendly family events and festivals

Brunswick Heads stages several eco-friendly family events each year, in keeping with the town's "Simple Pleasures" theme.  There is considerable community group involvement with the organisation of activities to ensure that the festivals and events are affordable.

Most festivals are held out of the peak holiday seasons, so that accommodation is available for overnight stays. The major festivals hosted by the Brunswick Heads community include:

Community groups provide fundraising BBQ's and other foodstalls and a policy of no commercial foodstalls at our community events is in place to support our local businesses who sponsor these festivals.  

In addition, Brunswick Heads is the finishing point for a number of other walking, running or riding events and the parks come alive with low key activities.
