Whether you are looking for rare vintage threads or a relaxing evening by the ocean, the Gold Coast is delivering a packed schedule today.

Sustainable Style at Miami Marketta

Fashion lovers should head straight to Miami Marketta for the Second Life Markets. Running from 11:00 am to 4:00 pm, this curated event features over 40 stalls dedicated to high-quality vintage, pre-loved, and up-cycled fashion. It is the ultimate destination for those looking to refresh their wardrobe sustainably while enjoying the vibrant, warehouse-style atmosphere of Miami’s most iconic creative hub.

Boutique Finds and Coastal Culture

The Village Markets return to Burleigh Heads State School this morning from 8:30 am to 1:00 pm. Known as the region's premier boutique lifestyle market, you can spend your morning browsing unique local designs, listening to live music, and sampling gourmet street food. It is the perfect spot to soak up the quintessential Burleigh vibe before hitting the beach.

Morning Rituals and Artisanal Goods

For early risers, the HOTA Farmers and Artisan Market is in full swing from 6:00 am until 11:30 am in Bundall. This market is a staple for locals, offering everything from fresh organic produce to handmade crafts. Alternatively, the Robina Farmers Market at Robina State High School also runs from 6:00 am to 11:00 am, featuring live music and a dedicated community atmosphere.

Theater and Evening Entertainment

Culture seekers have a final chance to witness Shen Yun 2026 at HOTA, Home of the Arts. This world-renowned performance of classical Chinese dance and music concludes its local run today, offering a breathtaking look into ancient traditions. As the sun sets, grab a picnic rug and head to the Surfers Paradise Esplanade for Movies on the Esplanade. Starting at 7:00 pm, this free community event offers a relaxed cinematic experience right by the ocean—a perfect way to wind down the weekend.

Community Spirit

Today also marks Clean Up Australia Day. Various community groups across the Gold Coast, including a major activation in Division 2, are inviting residents to roll up their sleeves for a few hours to help keep our local parks and beaches pristine. It is a fantastic opportunity to give back to the environment we all enjoy.
