Sanctuary Cove, in partnership with Ray White Sanctuary Cove, invite you to kick off the festive season with our Santa’s Arrival Parade including the much-loved Rotary Hope Island Buggy Parade!
Mark your calendars and gather the crew for a morning of festive fun and community cheer!
This year, participants in the Buggy Parade will also be in the running for an amazing prize: a 2-night luxury stay at the Hayman InterContinental Great Barrier Reef Resort for the Best Decorated Buggy. Registrations open mid-October at Ray White Sanctuary Cove.
Come along and celebrate the start of the festive season with your community. Fun for all ages guaranteed!
Skip the parking hassle – use public transport, walking or cycling. Plan your trip with Translink's journey planner.
If you drive, parking may be limited. Use the EasyPark app to start, stop or extend metered parking from your phone. And remember, parking regulations still apply during events. For more information visit the City of Gold Coast's Parking page.
