On February 1 the Gold Coast 2018 Commonwealth Games (GC2018) Queen’s Baton Relay will arrive and be celebrated in Coffs Harbour.
Coffs Harbour Mayor Councillor Denise Knight said it is thrilling to welcome the Queen’s Baton to Coffs Harbour.
“The Queen’s Baton Relay is bringing the excitement of the Gold Coast Games right to our doorstep.
“I encourage everyone to make the most of the opportunity. Come out and see the Queen’s Baton, join in the festivities and cheer on our own local legend batonbearers.”
There will be family fun entertainment at both the Jetty Foreshores and City Square from 4pm. The Baton will arrive spectacularly at the Foreshores at 4.40pm and leave at 4.55pm to travel with the batonbearers along Jordan Esplanade and Harbour Drive to City Square. It is due to arrive at City Square at 5.30pm, carried by Mark Donaldson VC, and its arrival will mark the start of a Community Celebration.
