What's On in Brunswick Heads: Spring & Summer Events 2026
Looking for events in Brunswick Heads NSW or wondering what's happening during your next North Coast holiday?
From markets beside the Brunswick River to live music, food, family entertainment and summer activities, Brunswick Heads has plenty happening through spring and summer 2026.
Brunswick Heads Market
One of the best ways to experience Brunswick Heads is at the town's monthly market. The Brunswick Heads Market is held in Memorial Park beside the Brunswick River on the first Saturday of the month.
Upcoming 2026 dates include 3 October, 7 November and 5 December. The market generally operates from around 8am to 2pm.
Browse the stalls before grabbing breakfast or lunch in town, swimming in the river or spending the afternoon at the beach.
Live Music in Brunswick Heads
Brunswick Heads also has a strong live-music calendar. Hotel Brunswick's current spring program includes acts and events such as The Whitlams on 2 October, Oktoberfest on 3 October, Grindstone Ranch Country Show on 16 October, Babe Rainbow on 23 October, Springfest on 30 October and Kevin Morby on 20 November.
Regular Sunday live music adds to the town's relaxed weekend atmosphere. Always confirm individual performance times and ticket availability with the venue.
Adventure Reels Film Tour
On 9 October, Brunswick Heads hosts the Adventure Reels Film Tour, bringing adventure films and stories to town. It's another example of the varied events that make Brunswick Heads more than simply a beach destination.
Summer in Brunswick Heads
As December approaches, Brunswick Heads moves into its classic summer-holiday season. The local events program traditionally includes a Twilight Christmas Market, while McGregor's Family Carnival is expected to operate from around mid-December into the January holiday period, subject to final event confirmation and weather.
It's a wonderfully nostalgic fit for Brunswick Heads — evening entertainment, family holidays and long summer days beside the river.
Why Stay in Brunswick Heads?
Brunswick Heads offers something increasingly difficult to find: a relaxed coastal village with a beautiful river, beach, local shops, cafes and restaurants all close together.
It's also perfectly positioned for exploring the wider Northern Rivers. Byron Bay is just to the south, while Pottsville, Cabarita Beach, Kingscliff and the Tweed Coast lie to the north.
