An enchanted evening of music, dance and champagne was enjoyed by locals under the stars at Peregian Beach last Saturday night and staged by the Peregian Beach Business Association to raise funds to light up the Peregian Village trees and square.
Guests dressed in their most enchanting outfits, danced and partied to the sounds of an array of entertainers including DJ Niki De Saint and an all-star band featuring Aspy Jones, Caroline Trengove, Damian Campbell, Beck Findlay and Claire Evelynn.
The event, officially opened by Noosa Mayor Clare Stewart, was an outstanding success, organiser Lea Bye said.
Lea said the event that was staged in the park showed residents what an excellent space it would be for residents to use after dark, just as the Village Vibe, held last month, made residents aware of the value of the Village Square as an after dark venue.
“People were disappointed when we took the lights down,“ she said.
Lea said the association expects the costs of lighting up the trees in the square and park to be about $20,000-$30,000.
She said more fundraising events will be planned during the year and the association hoped Noosa Council would contribute to the cost.
