BLEACH* is the Gold Coast’s annual contemporary arts festival. The festival has a growing national and international reputation for creating experiences and telling stories that are out of the box, authentic and uniquely connected to place.
BLEACH* is proudly local, celebrating the city’s best artists, welcoming renowned Australian and international artists and engaging a broad audience through a range of experiences with the magnificent coastline of southern Queensland as a backdrop.
In BLEACH*’s 13-year history they have premiered more than 70 commissions, won the Sidney Myer Performing Arts Group Award and played a pivotal role in curating and delivering the ambitious 2018 Commonwealth Games Cultural program.
Our 13th anniversary will be 1 – 11 August 2024.
BLEACH* Festival 2024 will be held across four locations including North Burleigh, Broadbeach Cultural Precinct, HOTA, Home of the Arts and Tallebudgera Valley.

Program Guides will be available at various cultural hubs across the city throughout August. However, all programming information, including any updates and changes can be found here on this very website. We encourage this site to be your go-to source for festival information.
