FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

What do Jon Stevens, Katie Noonan, Vince Jones, Phil Emmanuel, Chain and Kevin Borich all have in common? They are all performing at one of the many Broadbeach events and festivals this year.

In 2011 events in Broadbeach are promised to tantalize your ears and your taste buds giving audiences the chance to sing, dance and eat their way through the cool winter months.

This year’s program will have something for everyone and is hoped to give local businesses a much needed financial boost, in a traditionally quiet time of the year for tourism.

More than 130,000 people are expected to visit Broadbeach, specifically to attend one of the four events on offer between May and August.

The massive line-up of events will begin on the last weekend of May with the much anticipated tenth anniversary of the Blues on Broadbeach Music Festival.

Celebrations will run over four massive days and nights giving audiences the chance to witness more than 200 performers on outdoor stages and venues throughout the area.

Headlining this year’s event will be acts like Chain, Jon Stevens, Phil Emmanuel, Kevin Borich, the Bondi Cigars and international acts Hamilton Loomis and Austin “Walkin’ Cane”. The event remains free, and you can enjoy the festivities without even requiring a ticket, all ages are welcome.

The following month Broadbeach Alliance will present, ‘Broadbeach Opera in the Park’ on Saturday the 25th of June in Kurrawa Park from 6pm. Organisers will welcome internationally acclaimed performers Donald Cant and Danielle Everett for the event, both best known for their tours with Andrew Lloyd Webber’s ‘Phantom of the Opera’.

July will see the return of ‘Broadbeach Restaurant Week,’ which will run from the 15th to the 24th. This event will be in its 3rd year in 2011 and has become so popular for offering up 3 course $35 or $55 meals at some of the Coast’s best restaurants that organizers are working towards getting menus out to the public within the next month, to give people the chance to book early.

The winter events season will conclude on a very high note with the Broadbeach Jazz Festival. Broadbeach Alliance is proud to announce that the headliners for this free event will be Australian legends of the Jazz scene Vince Jones and Katie Noonan. 

Broadbeach Alliance CEO Jan McCormick believes this year’s line-up of events is the best yet and gives everyone a reason to visit Broadbeach. 

“There is no doubt in my mind that over the next four months there is something for everyone on offer in Broadbeach, from families to couples, music lovers to foodies we have tried to cater for every taste.”

Mrs McCormick believes that the events will attract large numbers of people to Broadbeach during the traditionally quieter winter months.

“This is such a fabulous precinct and with all of our events remaining free this is the perfect way to treat yourself without breaking the budget.”

“We have a very dedicated, enthusiastic team of six people who have these ideas and then work the long hours to put them together and we are all very excited to see the events all come to life over the next few months.”
