Crafted Beer Festival Gold Coast

Get ready to raise your glass even higher, because the Gold Coast edition of Crafted Beer Festival is back with a second wave of breweries, bands, and bites that’s sure to keep the good times rolling. Join us on Saturday 14 September at Kurrawa Park, Broadbeach, for an unforgettable day of craft beer, live music, and gourmet eats by the beach.

This year's festival promises over 400 brews from across Australia, and we’re adding even more craft to your cup. We're stoked to announce 20 additional breweries joining the line-up, including, Diablo Co, Fields Brewing, Red Dog Brewery, Six String Brewing Company, Blackflag Brewing, as well as local Burleigh non-alc legends Sobah making their Crafted debut.

On the music front, prepare to get down with the Hot Potato Band, bringing their brass-fueled energy to the festival stage, along with the raw sounds of Mid Drift. These acts join a stellar lineup including Children Collide, Lazy Ghost, Seaside, and more, ensuring there’s a beat for every brew lover.

But that’s not all – Crafted is turning up the heat with some fresh activities. Join us for Beer Yoga, where you can sip while you stretch, and test your skills in our epic Ping Pong Competition. For the brave of heart (and stomach), the Cychos Hot Wing Eating Competition is back – get ready to sweat it out for the crown, or show off your shooting skills in the Basketball Shoot Outs.

Feeling peckish? Crafted's got you covered! The Wiener Haus is stepping up their gourmet hot dog game with a bougie twist—introducing Bug Haus, featuring juicy and tender Moreton Bay bug rolls that'll make you go cray-sea! Plus, Mark’s Gourmet Pies is ready to deliver a pastry experience like no other. Don’t forget to check out the juicy creations from Smash Burger Society or the grilled goods at Rosticceria.

Whether you’re craving a classic bite or something a bit more adventurous, our vendors have got it all! Don't forget – Crafted is on a mission to get Beer Pong into the Brisbane Olympics! The team is serious about making this beloved brew-fueled sport an Olympic event, with our Olympic representative teams being hand selected at this year's festival.

Join the movement by signing the petition, and make history together. So, gather your mates and grab your tickets – with more breweries, bands, and bites than ever, Crafted Beer Festival is an event you won’t want to miss. The 2024 Crafted Festival is supported by the Queensland Government through Tourism and Events Queensland. Crafted Festival is also supported by Experience Gold Coast.
