Head along to Kings Beach Amphitheatre this July 2026 for Picnic on Kings, an exciting family festival on the Sunshine Coast near Brisbane. Kids will love the Bluey and Bingo live experience, interactive cooking, petting zoo, and food trucks, making this a memorable weekend seaside outing for parents and children alike.
Picnic on Kings @ Sunshine Coast
Picnic on Kings returns to the Kings Beach Amphitheatre as part of the opening weekend of The Curated Plate Food and Drink Festival, transforming one of Caloundra’s favourite spots into a giant family picnic packed with fresh local food, kids’ activities, and the Bluey and Bingo Live Interactive Experience.
Families are encouraged to bring a blanket, roll out the picnic rug, and settle in for a full day of fun by the sea. The event is set up across two zones: a ticketed stage show and a free activation zone.
Stage Show (Ticketed)
Tickets are $16.50 general admission for children aged 12 months and over. Children under 12 months are free. Tickets must be purchased online in advance and are limited. Two sessions are available, each featuring pre-show entertainment, a 4 Ingredients food competition, live music from father-daughter duo Sophie and Dave, and the Bluey and Bingo Live Interactive Experience, where families can join in games of Magic Asparagus, Magic Xylophone, Keepy Uppy and more with their favourite Heeler duo. Attendees may exit the seating area between sessions to purchase food and drinks from the activation zone.
Free Activation Zone
Open to the public throughout the day, the free activation zone features interactive planting and cooking activities, beehive learning, fresh produce stores, a Meet a Farmer experience, food trucks, live entertainment, lawn games, face painting, a petting zoo, and the Sunshine Coast Libraries reading corner.
Picnic on Kings is presented by Sunshine Coast Council in conjunction with The Curated Plate, with valued support from event partner Stockland Aura.
