The Noosa Alive festival started this week with a packed program of arts and cultural experiences.
President Andrew Stafford said it had certainly been an interesting lead up to the festival.
“Our dedicated volunteer committee have gone above and beyond to ensure everyone will have a safe and memorable experience at this year’s 10-day festival held in and around Noosa,” he said.
“While we continue to remain positive and in contact with Queensland Health to ensure the safety of our guests, it has been our ability to pivot quickly to accommodate the logistical changes while delivering the best experience.
“During last week’s committee meeting, a discussion took place with our volunteers reflecting on the changes required to deliver the festival and we landed on a discussion about what our front-line workers are facing.”
Mr Stafford said they were compelled to offer local hospital workers a chance to let off some steam.
“Empathy is a fuel and more than ever we need to stay connected as a community,” he said.
Noosa Hospital staff are continuing to play a critical role in keeping our community safe and well.
This year, in recognition of the amazing work that our local front line health workers have been doing, Noosa Alive has extended an invitation to Noosa Hospital to reward some of their staff.
Noosa Alive has donated tickets to the Akmal performance at The J and some tickets for workers and their families to attend the Picnic In The Park on Sunday 18 July in The Woods, Noosa.
“The festival has been a signature event within Noosa’s event schedule for 20 years, our committee and volunteers are thrilled to roll out the exciting program to our live arts fans. 2021 arts and culture in Noosa is alive,” Mr Stafford said.
“We look forward to seeing everyone at the events.”
