Surf, soul and sound at spectacular Gladstone Region 1770 Festival

Mark this weekend on your calendar and cancel any other plans – it’s time to get away and celebrate one of the region’s most iconic towns. Taking place from 24 – 26 May, the Gladstone Region 1770 Festival is set to offer three fun-filled family days.

Gladstone Region Mayor Matt Burnett encouraged all community members to attend and take full advantage of the range of activities on offer.

“You’ll be surrounded by sun, surf, great food and plenty of events – all the ingredients for a perfect weekend,” Councillor Burnett said.

“With something for everyone on offer, I invite all community members to visit this beautiful part of our region.”

Cr Burnett said the days would be jam-packed full of action, from surfing workshops and cooking displays, to fun runs and live entertainment.

“Gladstone Regional Council is proud to support the Gladstone Region 1770 Festival,” he said.
