Several of Australia’s top country music artists head to the Gold Coast for the annual Groundwater Country Music Festival. Make sure you block off the dates of October 28 through October 30 for the return of the free music festival that takes place in Broadbeach on the Gold Coast’s streets, parks, and venues.
As one of Australia’s most popular country music events, the Groundwater Country Music Festival, is a sign of how popular country music is becoming. The festival, formerly known as Broadbeach Country Music Festival, changed its name to Groundwater Country Music Festival in 2018. It has since established itself as a staple of the Gold Coast’s yearly calendar of events.
Groundwater serves as a window into Australia’s distinctive culture. It incorporates both the Aboriginal people’s spiritual solid ties to the groundwater and the farming community’s reliance on it for existence. The Australian people’s innate culture, which places a high value on the rivers, lakes, streams, and oceans, is reflected in the groundwater.
