Shorncliffe Pier Prepped to Party
Preparations are a-go for the iconic Bluewater Festival and Long Table Dinner on the Shorncliffe Pier. After a devastating blow to events in 2020, this year is looking up, with all your favourite local festivals to satisfy your entertainment fix.

The Bluewater Festival will be celebrating its 24th year on Good Friday, 2 April, 2021, and has Sandgate Bayside Chamber of Commerce president Bill Gollan doing everything he can to ensure the event will occur this year and be bigger and brighter¯ than ever before.

This year people can expect to see a great music line up, the great bay fireworks display that everyone has become accustomed to, local handicraft markets, and great food,¯ Bill said.

The Bluewater Festival is renowned as a day for the people of this area to have a reunion. We celebrate the start of the Brisbane to Gladstone Yacht race while showing off our local area.¯

The foreshore will be buzzing as the family-friendly festival kicks off with live bands, rides, food and market stalls before turning into a beach party celebration with fireworks as the finale.

Experience the yachts begin their journey at the firing of the cannon form the end of the Shorncliffe Pier.

Bill said he was also working on plans for the 2021 Long Table Shorncliffe Pier on Saturday, 24 April, with further details to be announced on the Sandgate Bayside Chamber of Commerce webpage.

The Long Table is a catered, open-air, fine-dining event that has had 700 people sharing a meal on the Shorncliffe pier on a single table. The dinner allows everyone a waterfront view of the beautiful Moreton Bay and a chance to make new friends while enjoying the sunset and entertainment of the evening.

The Long Table dinner showcases what we can do in our local area and it is a must-do event for locals and people of the Brisbane area,¯ Bill said.

While these events are being planned, it will be subject to any lockdowns and government recommendations.
