1. Blues on Broadbeach

The Buzz -- Established in 2002, this festival initiates a relaxed, laid-back environment to experience live blues and roots music. Beautifully located on Broadbeach, national and international artists will play both on the beach, in the park and on the streets. There are four main stages throughout the precinct, though inevitably the performances spill-over into the streets and into the malls, creating a 'jamming' feel all over town. Attracting a broad audience of young and old, the festival generates a village-feel and a chilled-out vibe – and it's all free!
