Kidchella, the iconic festival of fun for kids is returning to Surfers Paradise from 19 to 20 July.

The free line-up of glittering entertainment is sure to wow your littlest festival goer!

• Dance Party: We’re bringing the beats with live DJ sets that are bound to have your little one moving and grooving.
• Ferris Wheel: Take a free ride on our Coachella inspired Ferris wheel and take in the breathtaking views of the Gold Coast.
• Art Studio: Unleash your little one’s creativity with our curated art studio where you can create your very own festival themed art.
• Glam Bar: Add a bit of sparkle and festival vibe to the kids’ look with some face painting. When in doubt, just add glitter!
• Skate Workshops: If all of the above wasn’t enough, how about the kids take a skateboarding workshop? Taught by expert coaches, all you need is motivation as skateboards and helmets will be supplied.
• Silent Disco: If a dance party is a bit overwhelming for your little one, arrive early and experience the silent disco! Headphones will be provided and they can choose their own music.
• What else? Enjoy lunch or dinner at one of the mouth-watering restaurants and take a stroll through the Surfers Paradise markets.
