THE BROADBEACH PRECINCT

The festival is held within the Broadbeach precinct, with a combination of outdoor stages and indoor venues. The primary terrain of the festival precinct consists of flat grass, paved areas and gravel. 

 

During peak traffic periods, particularly if there has been heavy rainfall, the festival precinct may become more difficult to navigate. We recommend those using wheelchairs and/or motorised wheelchairs use large wheels for further stability.

Blues on Broadbeach supports the Hidden Disabilities Sunflower initiative, which uses sunflower-patterned lanyards to signal that someone may need extra assistance or support due to a non-visible or hidden disability. For more information, stop by the Festival Information & Merchandise area in Broadbeach Mall throughout the festival or look for team members wearing the lanyard or badge for assistance.

Blues on Broadbeach also utilises Communication Boards throughout the festival precinct including at the Festival Information and Merchandise area in Broadbeach Mall and at the festival bars located in Kurrawa Park and Victoria Park.

More accessibility information and resources including an accessible map and program will be released closer to the 2027 event.
