FESTIVAL HIGHLIGHTS

GOLD COAST, GET READY TO BLOOM

Saturday, August 2nd for an unmissable Floral Beard Build!
 
We’re turning beards into blooming masterpieces—live, loud, and lush.
Whether you’re a seasoned florist or just flower-curious, come build your very own wearable garden on a model (bearded or not!) No beard? No problem.
We’ll sprout one.
 
No model? Bring a mate, a mum, or volunteer on the day!
No rules—just bold botanical fun.
We’ll supply the flowers, the flair, and the stage.
 
You bring the creativity and the good vibes. Spaces are limited, so contact Julia to register and lock in your spot.
 
Let’s make the Gold Coast bloom with beards!
