Top 3 Things to do this August

By Stephanie Manning.

Who would have thought the middle of winter would be so damn incredible, jam-packed full of creative events, live music and pop-up feasts under the stars. This August we have put together our list of the best three things to do this month.

Feast under the Tipi

The first ever pop-up feast event on the Gold Coast and it gets even better…. it’s under a giant tipi. This magical outdoor event is the perfect setting for Etsu’s first pop-up dinner. Lucky ticket holders will get to indulge over a Japanese-inspired, wasabi-infused, five-course dinner affair that will be matched with wines and sake. With the Etsu team behind the event; the dinner is sure to be an experience. Keep your eyes peeled on the Etsu Facebook page for more details.

Friday 19^th and Saturday 20^th August

Broadbeach Jazz Weekend

Who doesn’t love a bit of jazz, especially when it’s live, loud and scattered throughout the streets of Broadbeach. With outdoor stages, pop-up markets, roving entertainment, and local restaurants; the Jazz Weekend is so much more than just jazz. It’s a mini street festival! And it’s free! Make sure you check our Jazz favs; Bustamento and Chukale Afro Cuban Salsa Ensemble for hip-shaking, baby making good times.

Saturday 20^th and Sunday 21^st August

Creative Workshops at Warehouse No 5

You should be familiar with Kiel Tillman by now as he was our artist in residence at our 5^th Stingray Birthday Party and featured on our QT Life blog a few months back. We love Kiel (if you haven’t guessed already) and on August 5 he is chatting to us for free as part of the new creative workshops by The Design Kids. But it doesn’t stop there; every event has new speakers, new thought-provoking topics and new inspirations to be absorbed. Check out the Gold Coast line-up on The Design Kids Facebook page.
