The annual Carol Cruise along Noosa River will set a new course this year.
Sponsored by Reed & Co Estate Agents, the much-loved evening cruise on Saturday, 9 December, will feature members of the acclaimed Oriana Choir and the Sunshine Coast Youth Choir.
This year the cruise will start at Noosa Heads Lions Park at 4.30pm and steer a course west to Noosaville.
There is an open invitation to get boats ready to follow the Noosa Ferry, Miss Tewantin, along the Noosa River, or set up with family and friends at one of the four stops along the riverbank.
“The Carol Cruise is an opportunity to bring our community together in the world class environment that we are fortunate to call home,” Reed & Co managing director Adrian Reed said.
“I cannot think of a better place to create wonderful Christmas memories with family and friends, then boating on the river and enjoying the many parklands that Noosa has to offer.
“The core of our business is about our people who are firmly embedded in the local community and the relationships they foster.
“The Carol Cruise is our way of giving back and connecting with our local community at what is an important time of the year.”
It’s an opportunity to deck the boats in Noosa style and celebrate the festive season together.
An Oriana Choir ensemble will be aboard Miss Tewantin while the youth choir will perform at the riverside stops.
The cruise provides a fabulous opportunity for anyone located along the route to host a Christmas party with the choir sailing past.
“Oriana is thrilled to be returning to the Noosa River this year to join Reed’s Carol Cruise,” choir president Melissa Innes said.
“This event is a highlight for our singers, especially our youth choir who will join the event from the banks of the Noosa River at the various parks along the route.
“The encouragement and enthusiasm from boaties and land-dwellers alike, makes our carolling experience atop the Noosa ferry all the more special.
“We can’t wait to see everybody out on the Noosa River very soon.”
