summer fest

Summer Fest is nine days of music by the sea at Pavilion Mooloolaba, running from Boxing Day to Sunday 3rd January. A custom-built stage goes in for the festival, with nine parties across the nine days. The venue is open every day and there is music every night, so you can drop in for a long lunch, sunset drinks or a late one on the dance floor.

Summer Fest runs for nine days, from Saturday 26th December to Sunday 3rd January. Dune and the Rooftop are open every day of the festival, with music every night.

Three big parties anchor the week. The Boxing Day Party opens the festival on Saturday 26th December, with DJs back to back from 3pm and a guest live performance across two levels. New Year's Eve on Thursday 31st December has the NYE Fireworks Dinner at Dune from 6pm and the NYE Rooftop Countdown from 7pm, with fireworks at 8:30pm and midnight. The Club Le Pav Closing Party wraps it all up on Sunday 3rd January.

New Year's Eve is ticketed, for both the NYE Fireworks Dinner and the NYE Rooftop Countdown. For the Boxing Day Party, walk-ins are welcome and reserving a table guarantees your entry. You will find the details and booking links for each event in the events list above.
