Welcome to the Great Barrier Reef Festival – Where the Reef Meets the Shore
Proudly presented by Cruise Whitsundays, the Great Barrier Reef Festival brings the reef to life in the heart of Airlie Beach, celebrating the Whitsundays’ unique coastal culture with three days of colour, connection, and community.
From the spectacular Friday Night Fireworks and Live Music, to the high-energy fun of Saturday’s Street Parade, Revvin’ the Reef Car Show, and our much-loved Family Fun Day, the festival offers something for everyone!
Wander the vibrant foreshore and explore Immerse, our signature reef-themed art installation made entirely from recycled materials. It’s a creative celebration of sustainability and ocean life.
Whether you’re here for the live entertainment, the art, or the family-friendly vibes, the Great Barrier Reef Festival is Airlie Beach’s premier event, a place where the reef meets the streets and everyone is invited.
Join us in 2026, July 31 – August 2, and be part of something great!
