The three day festival will transform the sky over iconic Surfers Paradise into Australia’s biggest stage, with high-flying performances by elite military aviators and the best civilian performers from around the world.

World Bowls Championships

Major Events Gold Coast is thrilled to partner with Bowls Australia and Tourism and Events Queensland in collaboration with the World Bowls Organising Committee to bring the sport’s pinnacle international competition to the Gold Coast, in what is a major coup for the city. Following the event’s postponement in 2020 and 2021, which later followed by an ultimate cancellation due to COVID-19 restrictions, organisers have undertaken to hold the first staging of a revised competition format in 2023, which will move to a biennial rather than quadrennial staging and do away with all barrier qualifying events to increase global participation.
