CLOUDY skies and a little rain couldn’t put a damper on the bright and colourful Noosa Rainbow River Festival.
Locals and visitors alike gathered on Sunday 20 March for the popular River Boat Parade which saw colourful boats cruise the Noosa River.
The boat parade was part of a weekend of celebrations which kicked off on Saturday 19 March, with welcome drinks at the Noosa Yacht Club and Drag Queen Bingo at The Villa.
The annual event was bigger than ever this year with organisers excited to plan next year’s event as the festival gains momentum.
