With the full schedule of events released, now is the perfect time for children (and their parents) to decide what Festival of Summer events and activities they would like to attend ahead of tickets going on sale from 9am on Thursday 28 October.

Gladstone Regional Council will hold the third annual Festival of Summer in January 2022, with a week of festivities planned for young people aged 11 to 17 years. It all kicks off on Sunday, 9 January 2022 with the all-ages Opening Festival taking place at Gladstone Aquatic Centre from 1pm-4pm.

This is a free event with no bookings required.

Following the Opening Festival, the Days of Summer activities will take place from 10-14 January.

• Agnes Water/1770 Beach Day (10 January)

The sun will set on Festival of Summer on Friday 14 January with the Festival of Summer Sounds concert for 13 to 17-year-olds taking at place at Gladstone Entertainment Convention Centre. Gladstone Region Mayor Matt Burnett is encouraging parents to purchase tickets early to avoid seeing their children miss out on one of their favourite Days of Summer activities.

“There’s absolutely no doubt that Festival of Summer activities are some of the most sought-after tickets in town with many of the events selling out within hours of going on sale,” Councillor Burnett said.

“The usual favourites are back again in 2022 along with some new events that I’m sure will satisfy those chasing an adventure or adrenaline, or those who would like to put their creative skills to the test.

“Thandi Phoenix will headline the Festival of Summer Sounds concert, with Ivey, Will Hearn and Trusk in support.

“Over 18s won’t miss out either with the Festival of Summer Sounds 18+ concert to also take place, with further details set to be released later this year.”
