From unicorn rides to treasure hunts, the Noosa River foreshore is set to come alive with colour, creativity, and pure magic on Saturday 13 September.
The event is set to celebrate 21 years of community banking at the Tewantin-Noosa branch — and the many meaningful connections built along the way.
‘IMAGINE’, a spectacular free event as part of NOOSA Alive! 2025, invites locals and visitors to step into a whimsical world where art, nature, and fantasy come together in an unforgettable celebration.
Taking place on the stunning banks of the Noosa River, this immersive, family-friendly event promises a day of wonder, featuring live music, dance performances, interactive art installations, roving performers, and themed zones from the mythical to the musical, plus live performances on the Shakespeare stage.
“This event offers the chance for families to explore magical worlds, connect with others, and celebrate the stories we all grew up with – right here on the foreshore of the Noosa River,” said Lea Taylor owner of Sunshine Coast Music and Events, the creative mind behind this event.
“We encourage everyone to dress up as your favourite literary character and join in the fun!”
