Sunshine Coast Shorebird Festivals

Join us at Fraser Park, Golden Beach, on September 27, and at Cotton Tree Park, Maroochydore, on September 28, to learn about the amazing journey migratory shorebirds take to return to their summer home and the threats to survival they face.

Welcome the Shorebirds Festival is returning to the Sunshine Coast for its third year, celebrating the incredible journey of migratory shorebirds that travel over 10,000km from the Arctic to spend summer on our shores. This is a free, family-friendly event offering a mix of activities including face painting, kids’ art, live music, beach clean-up, and craft stations.Beyond the fun, the festival has a deeper purpose: to raise awareness about these remarkable birds, the journey they make, and the challenges they face. You will have the chance to learn about shorebird conservation, the threats to their habitats, and how we can all help the birds and their habitat by sharing our shores. It’s also a time to celebrate community efforts and share inspiring stories of local conservation achievements.Book your free ticket today and join the celebration!
