Guides to the festival: explore outdoors
Itineraries help. So, here’s a guide to help you navigate the festival.
This year’s program is big. So, we’ve created five festival itineraries (as a starting point) that are aimed at all walks of life — the fifth, and final, guide is below.
We’re pretty lucky to call the Sunshine Coast home. So, we’ve tried to celebrate this beautiful region as much as possible in our programming — from hinterland concerts to synchronised swimming at the beach.
Below are a few outdoor events that celebrate the country (both Kabi Kabi and Jinibara) on which we live.
