Put Sunday 3 December in the diary and don’t miss what is always the Christmas event of the year, the Eumundi Christmas Extravaganza.
What makes it so great you may ask?
Well to start with it is all free. At a time of year when you may feel like all you do is put your hand in your pocket, not so here. Free entry, free rides and free entertainment.
Organisers, Eumundi and District Historical Association hire a massive marquee to cover the stage with hundreds of chairs undercover ensuring that rain or shine the show will go on.
And what a show it is, with six hours of entertainment from 1pm until 7pm. Festive performances organised by Hinterland Carols include Noosa District Concert Band, Eumundi State School Band, Eumundi State School Choir, Soul in Motion, Rebecca Bennett Hincksman, Good Shepherd Lutheran College Orchestra, Eumundi Callisthenics, The Kitty Kats, Coast Academy of Dramatic and Musical Arts, Grace Burroughs, Fit Barre, The Santa Show and The Sundowners.
The rides are for all ages with the EDCA Jumbo Slide, the Cooroy RSL Round Up, Original Eumundi Markets Tea Cups and the Sizzler and Super Flyer sponsored by Cooroy Bendigo Bank, Cooroy Rag and Imperial Hotel.
To top off the night, SPV Accounting and Total Curtain Solutions have sponsored a huge firework display to light up the sky.
There is a fantastic raffle that raises funds for the event and lots of delicious food options and market stalls including face painting, glow products and Christmas gift ideas.
This event has also been proudly supported by Sunshine Coast Council’s Grant Program. Other sponsors who have helped make the Christmas magic happen include Dan Purdie MP, Steve Butler Excavations, Experience Eumundi, Matso’s Sunshine Coast, Jackson Jones Real Estate, I Love Eumundi Markets, Noosa Hinterland Realty, Equip 4 Hire, Rotary Club of Eumundi, Eumundi Voice, The Kitty Kats, Stratify Legal, QCWA Eumundi, Woombye Dental, Live Life Pharmacy, idprint, Lake Borumba Caravan & Campgrounds, Ikatan Spa, Firefly Solutions, Eumundi Style, Arrow Electrical and Berkelouw Books.
