Surf culture’s past, present and future will collide on the southern Gold Coast this May when Flotsam Festival 2026 returns for 15 days of film, photography, exhibitions, music and creative events from May 1 to 15.
Running across Coolangatta, Kirra, Currumbin and Burleigh Heads, the multi-venue festival will once again transform the coastline into a celebration of surf storytelling, visual art and coastal creativity.
