There’s plenty happening in Mooloolaba this Easter long weekend.
Across the Esplanade, the Wharf and along the beachfront, the weekend fills out with Easter egg hunts, live music, family moments and a few things you’ll likely stumble across as you go.
If you’re spending the long weekend here, here’s what’s on.
Hunt for Eggs Around the Esplanade
One of the most fun things happening this Easter is the Yogurt & Gelato World Easter Egg Hunt, kicking off from 2 April and running across the long weekend.
There’s $300 worth of vouchers hidden, turning a simple walk along the Esplanade into a bit of a treasure hunt. It’s not locked into one time slot either, so you can join in whenever you’re already out and about.
It’s a good one to keep in mind, especially if you’ve got kids in tow or just feel like getting your detective on.
Spot the Easter Bunny
Keep an eye out on Easter Saturday, when the Easter Bunny will be making an appearance along the Mooloolaba Esplanade.
It’s one of those moments that adds a bit of extra energy to the day, especially for families moving between the beach, cafés and shops.
Spend the Weekend at Pier 33
Pier 33 is putting on a full Easter weekend lineup right on the water.
- Good Friday: Open from 1pm
- Easter Saturday: Golden Egg Hunt for adults with prizes
- Easter Sunday (from midday):
- Kids Easter Egg Hunt
- Easter Bunny photo opportunities
- Family games and activities
- Live pianist (4pm–7pm) followed by a DJ
It’s one of the best spots to drop into across the weekend, whether you’re there with family during the day or settling in later on.
Head to Club Mooloolaba for Easter Events
Club Mooloolaba is also running a full program across the long weekend, with something different happening each day.
Easter Saturday (4 April)
- Tuffy – Wharf Revival Series (5pm–8pm)
- Karaoke Afterparty (8pm–11pm)
Easter Sunday (5 April)
- Raw Ordio DJ session (3pm–7pm)
Easter Monday (6 April)
- Easter Egg Hunt (2:30pm)
- Face painting (3pm–5pm)
- Family movie from 5pm
From nights out to family-friendly afternoons, it’s a good place to base yourself if you’re looking for something organised but low-key.
Head Up to Pavilion Rooftop for the Long Weekend
If you’re after something a little more elevated across the Easter long weekend, Pavilion Rooftop (The Pav) is running a full lineup from Good Friday through to Monday.
Good Friday (3 April)
- Kick things off with a seafood-led afternoon, with an oyster and Champagne cart running on the rooftop from midday. It’s a slower start to the weekend, built around long lunches and coastal flavours.
Saturday (4 April) – Spritz Social
- From midday, the rooftop shifts into a more social setting, with spritzers, sunset views and live saxophone as the afternoon rolls into evening.
Sunday (5 April) – Easter Sunday Party
- From 3pm, the space transforms into a full rooftop party, with DJs, live performances and a busy, open-air atmosphere carrying through the afternoon and into the night.
Monday (6 April) – Recovery Social
- Things ease off slightly with a more relaxed recovery session, think frozen margaritas, open-air seating and a slower pace to close out the weekend.
It’s the kind of place you can go at different points across the weekend and get a completely different feel each time.
Dirty Moes Easter Espresso Martini
This Easter Weekend, burger joint Dirty Moe’s is serving up a special Easter espresso martini, served inside a chocolate egg with whipped cream and even more chocolate on top.
It’s the perfect Easter treat if you want something totally indulgent and Instagrammable.
Fill the Gaps with Beach Time and Wanders
In between everything happening, Mooloolaba does what it always does best.
Beach mornings, swims, a walk along the Coastal Pathway, and plenty of stops along the way for food, drinks or something sweet. Most of the weekend tends to unfold naturally as you move between places, with something happening just around the corner.
Easter in Mooloolaba is a mix of planned events and everything that happens in between. A few egg hunts, a bit of music, time by the water and a weekend that tends to fill out on its own.
