It’s time for skippers to decorate their boats and families to pack the picnic hampers for the celebrated Carol Cruise along the Noosa River.
The Oriana Choir ensemble will be on board the Noosa Ferry’s M.V. Miss Tewantin on Saturday evening, 13 December, as she makes her way along the waterways.
In what has become a highlight for the Noosa community to celebrate the festive season with joy, Reed & Co Estate Agents proudly present this annual event that promises an unforgettable evening for locals and visitors alike.
Reed & Co will again team up with AV Partners and Sunshine Coast Youth Choir for the event.
This year’s cruise will see four stops at popular riverside parks, including Lions Park, Noosa Park West, The Sound Park, and the foreshore outside The Noosa Boathouse.
As the M.V. Miss Tewantin glides along the river, a spectacular flotilla of watercraft will accompany her, enjoying Christmas carols sung from the top of the ferry by the renowned Oriana Choir.
Audiences along the riverbanks can expect an enjoyable performance, as the choir brings festive classics to life.
At each of four stops, the Sunshine Coast Youth Choir will continue the festivities, enhancing the joyful ambiance with their renditions of holiday favourites as the ferry steams onto the next stop.
“The Carol Cruise has become a highlight of the holiday season in Noosa,” Reed & Co director and founder Adrian Reed said.
“It represents everything we love, which is bringing people together outdoors to celebrate the festive season, our lifestyle on the water and just sharing fabulous moments with family and friends.
“We could not be prouder to present the Noosa community with this event once again to share this festive experience.”
With the river illuminated by festive lights and the sound of carols drifting through the air, Reed & Co’s Carol Cruise will once again capture the hearts of the community.
“Oriana Choir is thrilled to be returning to the top of the Noosa Ferry this year,” Oriana president Melissa Innes said, “to encourage as many local families as possible to join in the singing to kick off the festive season.
“Our youth choir singers are sounding appropriately angelic, and looking forward to some joyous and energetic carols on the land at any of the parks along the Noosa River stops.
“It’s always impressive to see the exceptional efforts made by those decorating their boats. We can’t wait to see everyone again this year.”
The Carol Cruise attracts appreciative crowds at the riverside parks and beaches while holiday-makers join in on apartment balconies and local residents from their jetties.
“This evening of melody and joy will create lasting memories with friends and family,” Adrian Reed said, “lighting up the riverbanks with the true spirit of Christmas.
“If you do not have a boat to follow along, join in of the fun on the river foreshore at one of the four stops.”
