What's On
Celebrating Simple Pleasures - Fundraiser
Tuesday 3rd December
5.30pm - 8.30pm
Brunswick Picture House
For 18 years, our self-funded Visitor Centre has been the heart of Brunswick Heads, welcoming visitors and sharing our message of “simple pleasures,” with wonderful local, family friendly events such as Kites and Bikes, Old and Gold, the Mullum2Bruns Paddle, Simple Pleasures Photo Competition and more.
However, recent challenges — rising rent, the economic downturn, the impact of COVID-19, and even floods — have made it increasingly difficult to source our usual income streams, through corporate sponsorships and memberships.
The Visitor Centre is a central part of the community. We have worked tirelessly to promote our Simple Pleasures brand and to keep Brunswick Heads as a family friendly, low key seaside town with a laid-back vibe. It would be deeply saddening if we close, as it is one of the last community services left in our village.
Helping support our fundraiser are some amazing local performers:
GOODRICH — Playing 1960’s and 1970’s Rolling Stones, The Kinks and The Who to 1980’s Talking Heads, Blondie, Bowie, Devo, through to today, The Black Keys — a healthy infusion of OZ homegrown.
RICHIE WILLIAMS - Expect an unforgettable, energetic live show spurred on by the husky soul vocals of Richie Williams and his funk based rhythm section. Influences are a fusion of Jamiroquai, Hall and Oates, Doobie Bros, Ben Harper, Tom Petty and The Police.
RAY ESSERY — local larrikan bush poet.
ILONA HARKER — local performer (TBA)

Blues Fest 17th to 20th April 2025
Bluesfest Byron Bay, Australia's premier and most awarded music festival in Australia ever, proudly announces that the 2025 edition will be its final curtain call. After 35 years of celebrating the very best in Blues, Roots music, and Beyond, the legendary institution that has brought the world’s greatest artists to Australia, plus a whole bunch of our own, will host its last festival on the legendary Byron Events Farm, just outside of Byron Bay, NSW, Australia. As the final chapter in Bluesfest’s iconic legacy approaches, fans are urged to be part of history. The first of many artist announcements for the 2025 festival, which promises to feature a lineup worthy of this momentous occasion, will be unveiled in one week.
