This feature promotes Horizon Festival’s upcoming annual event.
Horizon Festival — the Sunshine Coast’s premier multi-arts festival — returns 25 August to 3 September 2023.
The 10-day offering takes place all over the Sunshine Coast — beaches, the hinterland, warehouses. The lot.
At our core: we celebrate place — it’s the heartbeat of the festival — and our programming reflects this. But, more importantly, we honour the Traditional Custodians of the Country on which we stand — the Kabi Kabi Peoples and Jinibara Peoples.
Our events vary. And they’re (almost) always in spectacular locations. There’s music, art, theatre, dance, workshops, ceremony, and plenty for the family.
So, pop the kettle on, put your feet up, and enjoy flicking through this year’s program — we’d love to see you at an event.
See you on the horizon,
The Horizon Festival Team
