The Great Indian Festival – Diwali Edition at Dreamworld

The Great Indian Festival returns to Dreamworld on the Gold Coast for a one-day Diwali Edition, a large-scale celebration of Indian culture, heritage and tradition presented by Bolly Beats Events. Gates open at 6pm on Saturday 19 September 2026 and the festival runs until 11pm.

Entry includes unlimited park rides until late, so the one ticket covers both the theme park and the festival programme. Live music, a band and stage entertainment run through the evening, alongside fashion shows and cultural dress exhibitions. Traditional Indian cuisine and street-food stalls operate across the site.

Hands-on activities include rangoli making, henna application and pottery workshops, plus photo booths set up with traditional Indian backdrops and props. There is a dedicated kids' section along with games and activities for all ages.

Tickets are $35 per person (around $37.56 once the Eventbrite booking fee is added) and children under 3 enter free. Parking at Dreamworld is free. Refunds are available up to 7 days before the event. For sponsorship, stall and general enquiries contact Bolly Beats Events on 0497 021 230 or 0415 480 040.
