The Noosa River was awash in purple on Friday 17 October as Sunshine Butterflies hosted its 5th annual Walk In Wings event.
Hundreds of locals, businesses, schools, and community groups gathered at dawn to celebrate inclusion and raise awareness for people with disability.
The morning featured face painting, live entertainment and performances by Sunshine Butterflies members.
Prizes were awarded for best dressed participants, and 91.1 Hot FM broadcast live from the event.
Sunshine Butterflies founder and chief executive officer Leanne Walsh said, “Walk In Wings is all about bringing people together to celebrate diversity and inclusion.”
“Every year, this event reminds us that while we all have our differences, those differences make our community stronger and more beautiful.”
One of Sunshine Butterflies’ members, Aaron, shared how special the morning was for him.
“I love Walk In Wings because it’s so much fun and everyone joins in. I got to sing, see my friends, and feel proud to be part of Sunshine Butterflies,” he said.
