Get ready to step back in time for a night of glitz, glamour, and giving. Dreamworld has announced the return of its signature fundraising event, A Gatsby Soirée, held in support of the Dreamworld Wildlife Foundation (DWF).
Taking place on Saturday, May 30, 2026, this special evening promises an unforgettable blend of 1920s elegance and world-class wildlife conservation.
The gala will feature two of the park’s most immersive precincts, the iconic Tiger Island and the newly developed Rivertown. Guests are invited to don their finest Roaring 20s attire for a whole night dedicated to protecting Australia’s most vulnerable species.
An Evening of High-End Hospitality
The Soirée is designed as a premium experience, offering guests a curated journey through the park after hours:
- Sunset Canapés & Cocktails: Kick off the night at Tiger Island with sunset drinks and the chance to see Dreamworld’s magnificent tigers in a stunning twilight setting.
- Fine Dining at Jane’s: Dinner will be hosted at Jane’s Rivertown Restaurant, featuring a 2-course alternate drop menu crafted specifically for the event.
- 4-Hour Beverage Package: Enjoy a selection of beer, wine, and soft drinks throughout the evening.
Entertainment & Exclusive Access
In true Gatsby style, the night will be filled with live jazz entertainment and themed photo opportunities to capture your vintage look. Beyond the dining, the event offers a unique perk: exclusive night access to the Jungle Rush and Murrissippi Motors rides, allowing guests to experience the park’s newest attractions under the stars.
Protecting the Wild
While the atmosphere is one of celebration, the heart of the event is the Dreamworld Wildlife Foundation. All proceeds from the night - including tickets, raffles, and silent auctions - go directly toward DWF’s frontline conservation partners.
Attendees will hear firsthand from conservation experts, including representatives from Wildcare Australia, about the vital work being done to rescue and rehabilitate species such as koalas, bilbies, and tigers. To date, DWF has contributed millions of dollars to global conservation projects, and this gala remains their most significant fundraising milestone of the year.
