Byron Bay Events Transfers
Last updated:
What’s On – Byron Bay
Make the most of Byron Bay’s events and festivals — with comfortable, fixed-price private transfers from Gold Coast Airport, Brisbane Airport and the Brisbane Cruise Terminal.
Byron Bay Events Transfers
Byron packs a lot into a small town, and every one of these weekends puts real pressure on parking, taxis and rideshare. We run door-to-door private transfers to and from all of them, at a set price agreed before you travel.
Event dates below were checked with the organisers on 29 August 2026 and are updated as new festivals are announced.
Coming up — late 2026

A celebration of surf culture with competitions, art, film, live music and markets, built around sustainability and the local coastline.
- Saturday 19 September 2026

Schoolies
Byron Bay town centre and beaches

- Thursday 31 December 2026
New Year’s Eve
Byron Bay town centre
Byron fills to capacity and road access tightens around the town centre. The single busiest night on our calendar, so lock in your pick-up well ahead.
Looking ahead to 2027
- Late April 2027 — dates to be confirmed
Byron Bay Triathlon
Main Beach and Dening Park
The region’s biggest multisport weekend, starting and finishing beside Byron Surf Life Saving Club.
- August 2027 — dates to be confirmed
Byron Writers Festival
Byron Bay town centre
More than 110 sessions across a walkable festival precinct centred on Railway Park, plus markets and live music.
Not running this season: Bluesfest has closed after 36 years, and both Splendour in the Grass and Falls Festival remain on hiatus at North Byron Parklands. If any of them return we will list them here.
Getting to your event
Fixed prices, agreed up front. Byron Bay is a set-price route from Gold Coast Airport, Brisbane Airport and the Brisbane Cruise Terminal — no meters and no event-weekend surge. See the full fixed price chart →
Festival drop-offs and pick-ups. Tell us the venue when you book and we will arrange the closest legal drop-off point, including the Bangalow showground and the North Byron sites, where road closures usually apply.
Groups. A sedan carries three, the people mover seven and the maxi taxi eleven — all priced per vehicle, not per head, so a full car is the cheapest way for a group to travel.
Book early for peak weekends. Schoolies, New Year’s Eve and the film festival weekends sell out our fleet well in advance.
