Surfers Paradise SeaFire Fireworks 2025 is back and this year, it is bigger and better on Saturday 31 May 2025. Last year, Italy and the United Kingdom, two of the world’s best pyrotechnics, competed on the shores of Surfers Paradise Beach for the coveted title in the City’s very own international fireworks competition for the ultimate title in fireworks.

This Year will be Belgium vs the USA before Australia hosts the spectacular finale. This year will have several additional locations including the HOTA Parklands. Several of our river view units are ideally situated to view this area and still available for the time being.

You can book Circle on Cavill Level 41, Level 22 and Level 28.
