The jolly man in red is swapping his sleigh for not one, but two boats this year.
Thanks to the support of Community Bank Tewantin-Noosa, Coast Guard Noosa, QF5, is bringing festive cheer with its annual Christmas Lolly Run on Saturday 21 December, starting at 10.30am.
Santa and his merry helpers will set sail aboard the Coast Guard vessels Bendigo Rescue and John Waddam to deliver Christmas spirit—and lollies—to children along the Noosa River foreshore and at the Dog Beach.
Here’s how the magic unfolds:
Boat 1 (John Waddam) will head to the Dog Beach to spread joy among families and pooches enjoying the sun and sand.
Boat 2 (Bendigo Rescue) will cruise upstream along the Noosa River, starting from the Coast Guard Base at Munna Point and making its way to the Tewantin Marina and Boat Ramp.
For everyone’s safety, Santa has kindly asked that children in the water maintain a 10-metre distance from the vessels.
This beloved event, made possible by the collaborative spirit of Coast Guard Noosa and Community Bank Tewantin-Noosa, is a wonderful way to connect the community and celebrate the season. So don’t miss out—grab your Santa hats and join the fun along the Noosa River and Dog Beach!
