Nightide’s free family day brings a brighter, more playful energy to the Queenscliff foreshore, wrapping up the festival weekend with a fun-filled afternoon by the bay. With free entry and plenty happening for kids and families, it’s the perfect chance to enjoy the atmosphere of Nightide in a more relaxed, lively and family-friendly way.

Expect a colourful mix of entertainment and activities including Krazy Koala’s Bebop Circus, Mariana the Mermaid, a bubble artist, face painting, an amusement ride, a Disney singalong and footy handball. To make the day even easier for families, kids aged 0–15 can travel free as foot passengers on Searoad Ferries.

Whether you’re coming for a few hours or making a full day of it, Free Family Day is all about fresh air, good energy and plenty to keep little ones smiling.

Entry is free, however some attractions, along with food and drink, may incur a cost.
