A festival of sun, sand and seafood to celebrate Mooloolaba’s new parkland

To celebrate the opening of Mooloolaba’s new Northern Parkland, the Esplanade is set to transform with oceans of free family friendly fun on Saturday 2 July from 10am to 9pm.

Sumptuous seafood, sand sculptures, mermaids, live music and sea-inspired displays feature among the many highlights for the upcoming Mooloolaba Foreshore Festival.

Sunshine Coast Council Division 4 Councillor Joe Natoli said the festival was a great way to kick start the school holidays.

“There’s so much to see and do in Mooloolaba – and it just got even more exciting,” Cr Natoli said.

“We’ve partnered with Discover Mooloolaba to deliver the Mooloolaba Foreshore Festival, and we’re inviting the whole community to join us.

“Not only can visitors experience the new Northern Parkland, they can also sample delicious food and drinks along the Esplanade, enjoy free rides and face painting with the kids, discover incredible sand sculptures, artisan markets and live entertainment.

“There’s even a Mermaid Headquarters and Neptune’s Garden Bar.”

Festival attendees are encouraged to catch public transport, cycle, scoot or walk to the event or conveniently park at the Mooloolaba Central Park N Go for $5 per day which is located off Smith Street.

Stay up to date by following the Mooloolaba Foreshore Festival on Facebook or visit the Northern Parkland project webpage at sunshinecoast.qld.gov.au
