The sky is the limit for a world-class sporting event set to attract thousands to the Coast with glitz and glamour.
Part of the world’s largest and most successful polo series, Polo By The Sea will kick off on the Sunshine Coast with all the glitz and glamour the sport has to offer on 5 August.
With 30 per cent of attendees historically from outside the Local Government Area, the event will boost accommodation, retail, hospitality, and transport businesses on the Sunshine Coast.
Events Queensland partner Trent Meade is expecting 3000 polo-goers from all walks of life but said the event venue, located along the Maroochy River, was able to hold much more.
“We envision being able to attract people from both north and south of the Sunshine Coast,” he said.
“Last year there was lots of inquiry from northern New South Wales, and we would really like to nail that this year so we can show that we are dedicated to creating a great event that contributes to the Sunshine Coast economy,” he said.
Mr Meade said the event was created to fill a gap in the Sunshine Coast’s event calendar.
“This polo event is about delivering an event that is accessible to a broad demographic and that speaks for itself in our ticketing options and the prices,” he said.
“There is a lot of migration to this beautiful part of the world, particularly from down south, and adding some unique, inspiring premium events to the Coast is important.
“So, we see the Sunshine Coast as having wonderful opportunity for an impressive events calendar and we are looking to lead the way with Polo By The Sea.”
The event will include an after-party performance from Australian music sensation Mashd n Kutcher who will thrill crowds with their unique live electronic music act, combining elements of multiple genres and decades.
Coastline BMW Polo By The Sea uses a variation of polo under the guise of Urban Polo to make the match faster and more exciting for guests.
All guests are guaranteed to be close to the action and will enjoy award-winning entertainment and hospitality at the interactive event.
Caloundra Chamber chief executive officer Brady Sullivan said events like Polo By The Sea would be significant generators of economic benefits for the region.
“Providing exciting activities and events is essential in the branding of our region to ensure we are competitive in attracting a younger workforce demographic and providing an appealing lifestyle to our growing population,” he said.
2023’s Coastline BMW Polo By the Sea Sunshine Coast includes Wishlist as the charity partner and will be delivered by Events Queensland in collaboration with the Urban Polo Association.
