Get ready, because the much-loved Cooly Carols is returning beachside at Queen Elizabeth Park this Sunday, offering the perfect free celebration to kick off the festive season. This is your invitation to settle in for an evening filled with holiday magic.
Hosted by the Gold Coast’s very own Nicka35, the atmosphere will be brimming with conversational authority and good cheer, guiding us through an evening stacked with local talent. Get ready to hear live music from favourites like Chloe Styler and Birren and the Paper Daisies. Plus, bringing an extra layer of family delight, the Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary’s Blinky Bill Christmas Show is set to make an appearance.
Grab your friends and family, spread out your picnic blanket, and prepare to belt out your favourite Christmas carols under the Coolangatta sky.
The event—running from 5:30 PM until 7:30 PM on Sunday, 14 December 2025—is completely free, ensuring everyone can join the merriment. The evening won’t just be about the songs; expect a delicious variety of food trucks on site to satisfy every craving. And of course, the grand finale of the night belongs to the big man in red, who will make a special visit before a dazzling fireworks display lights up the Coolangatta sky.
Cooly Carols, proudly presented by City of Gold Coast, aims to be a welcoming space for everyone.
To ensure accessibility, Auslan interpreters will be performing on stage throughout the event.
