Coolum’s Christmas events

The festive spirit is alive and well on the Sunshine Coast, with a fantastic line-up of events bringing residents and visitors together in Coolum and Mudjimba this December.

Council’s Strong Community Portfolio Councillor Taylor Bunnag said there was plenty to enjoy ­­­– from twilight markets to carols by the beach.

“Each event is within walking distance of cafés and shops, so make a day or night of it and support our businesses while you’re there,” Cr Bunnag said.
