The Cooroy Fusion Festival attracts over 10,000 people each year and the key to their winning formula is that it taps into what is great about the Noosa Hinterland while also constantly reinventing itself.
This year’s festival on Saturday 13 May will be no different, with a very exciting addition to the program!
The festival is set to bust at the seams with good vibes and great music hitting the Bendigo Bank Stage from 9.30am until 3.30pm. Entertainers include Sambazzy, Cherry Ripes, Claptomaniacs and Annie J & Fusion. These performers have made a name for themselves playing throughout the Sunshine Coast and further afield and with a mix of their various talents.
Gracing the Bendigo Bank Main Stage will be a Welcome to Country by Brent Miller, performances by the Noosa District High School Concert Band, Sunshine Hinterland Orchestra for Children, St Theresa’s Concert and Stage Bands and the Greenwood Grove Geckoes Wildlife Experience, followed by a walkabout meet and greet with some of the critters.
The festival is a celebration of local artists, entertainers, artisans, food, community groups and so much more. Held in the Mill Place precinct in front of Cooroy Library, the Cooroy Fusion Festival really does have something for everyone, so make sure you save the date for a great family day out.
Thanks to the sponsorship of Raine and Horne Noosa Hinterland, dart ball will be coming to the Sunshine Coast for the first time at the festival.
A brand-new hybrid sport game, dart ball is the newest and most creative festival fun to hit Australia.
It is a combination of darts and soccer, rugby or tennis, and is played on an oversized portable dartboard where players use a velcro ball to kick, throw or hit onto the dartboard to score points.
Cooroy Fusion Festival event organiser, Chris Bell said it would be a great free day out for everyone, so jump online and have a look what’s on offer at www.cooroyfusionfestival.com.au or find them on Facebook @CooroyFusionFestival.
See you at the festival on Saturday, 13 May from 9.30am-3pm.
