Float into Sunday mode at Sunday Sounds, our most chilled out Great Barrier Reef Festival event. From 2pm, the Reef Bar transforms into your Sunday sanctuary, with live music, beachside breezes, and relaxed coastal vibes rolling into the sunset. Lounge on the lawn, sip something refreshing, and soak in the sounds of the sea with friends, family, and fellow festival-goers.
Whether you’re winding down the weekend or making it last a little longer, Sunday Sounds is all about kicking back, listening in, and loving where you are.
