Ahh, Sunday. Some see it as the best day of the week – others, the worst. No matter where you sit, you may as well make the most of it. From wholesome markets to pool parties, here are 10 of the best things to do on a Sunday on the Gold Coast.
Mo’s Desert Clubhouse
With margaritas, tacos and unbeatable live music, Mo’s Desert Clubhouse’s Sunday Session is second to none. Given its founders all met at Burning Man, why wouldn’t it be? They just know how to party. They even have vintage markets – Desert Digs – every sixth Sunday from 12pm to 3pm.
The Village Markets
Since 2008, the Village Markets have been THE Sunday activity on the southern Gold Coast. Held at Burleigh State School on the first and third Sundays of the month, it’s the best place to source cool things, eat good food and listen to live music.
The Collective
Longing for summer? You’ll find it year-round at The Collective’s Patrón Saintly Sundays, from 3pm to 5pm. Enjoy tropical house DJs, Patrón margs on tap and tacos from their LA street style cantina, TaLA.

Miami Marketta
You can catch live music most nights at Miami Marketta, but we especially love closing out the weekend there. Turn a lazy Sunday into a street party with events like Sneaky Sound System and Festa Junina, the Brazilian Winter Festival.
The Henchman
For a truly chill Sunday session, head to The Henchman in Miami. They put on fun events most nights, but their Sunday offering includes vintage markets (every third Sunday of the month), a double happy hour and live music.
Burleigh Pavilion
Keen to keep the party going until the end of the weekend? Burleigh Pavilion’s Summer Lover Sundays delivers. The Pav’ plays host to big name DJ’s every Sunday afternoon, proving they’re the place to be all weekend long.
Surfers Pavilion
Surfers couldn’t let the Burleigh Pavilion have all the Sunday fun, could it? Every weekend, Surfers Pavilion hosts Sunset Sundays with DJs on rotation from 1pm. Arrive from 11am onwards for tasty food, delicious drinks and unbeatable views.
HOTA Farmers and Artisan Markets
Every Sunday, the Gold Coast’s Home of the Arts comes alive with market goers on the hunt for farm-fresh produce, gourmet foods and boutique fashion and homewares.
Tropic Vice
Beat the back to work blues and treat yourself to one last hurrah at Tropic Vice. At their bottomless margarita lunch, which is on every Sunday, you can listen to live music and DJs, eat oysters and sip on margs and champagne.
Cali Day Club
Looking to really send it? Head to the heart of Surfers Paradise (of course) to Cali Beach. The popular day club has been given a winter twist, with fire pits, one-of-a-kind cocktails and mulled wine on offer to beat the chill.
