Easter on the Esplanade @ Surfers

Easter on the Esplanade @ Surfers
The Surfers Paradise Beachfront Markets will return this Easter long weekend with a lively two-night celebration along the Esplanade. Held on Good Friday and Easter Saturday, the markets will transform the beachfront into a festive Easter hub, featuring more than 100 stalls offering handmade gifts, artisan products, and a tempting selection of sweets and treats.
Visitors can enjoy a relaxed evening by the sea while browsing the markets, soaking up the coastal atmosphere and experiencing live music and entertainment. A highlight for families will be a special appearance from the Easter Bunny, with meet and greet sessions taking place from 5pm to 8pm on both days.
Alongside the markets, there will be a variety of family-friendly activities and plenty of food options to explore. For those looking to extend their evening, the many restaurants and bars of Surfers Paradise are located just a short walk away.
This popular Gold Coast Easter event offers a mix of seaside charm, entertainment and seasonal fun for all ages.
