Solento Surf Festival

Celebrated surf filmmaker Taylor Steele is bringing his surf arts festival – Solento Surf Festival – to the Gold Coast for the first time, with a week-long celebration of surf, film, art, and music from 7–14 June across Burleigh Heads, Mondrian Gold Coast and HOTA, Home of the Arts.

This will mark the festival’s first ever debut outside of the USA, and local filmmakers have the opportunity to participate in an intimate Master Class with Taylor Steele himself onsite at HOTA.

HOTA will also host the Solento Surf Festival Art Exhibit with works from renowned artists including Otis Carey, David Bromley and Karlee Mackey.

The local eight-day Solento Surf Festival will be a one-of-a-kind experience showcasing some of today’s most captivating surf films, intimate music performances and a community surf day where emerging boardriders can take on some of the greats.
