Your last chance to get amongst the action.
Your last chance to get amongst the action.
It’s hard to believe the biggest, most exciting event to hit the Gold Coast will soon be over (sigh). In the interest of drawing the festivities out until the very last possible second, we’ve compiled a list of the major events closing out Festival 2018 this weekend.
This is the very last chance you’ll get to immerse yourself in the action and although we’ve written don’t miss it about 57 times in the last few weeks, it is important that you don’t miss it because soon it will be gone.
Anyway. Here are the things. Happy festivaling.
