Sand sculpture at festival

Cooroy Fusion Festival will be highlighting all that is fantastic about the beautiful Noosa Hinterland. One of those is how close it is to the beautiful beach at Noosa Heads so this year thanks to the sponsorship of Tourism Noosa, the festival will bring the beach to the hinterland with the help of renowned sand sculptor, Dennis Massoud.
“Based in Noosa, Dennis Massoud is a world champion sand sculptor and has turned sand sculpting into a performing art. He has sculpted sand around the world, and at most major events throughout Australia and his sculptures have been used in television advertisements. So, having him at Fusion Festival just made perfect sense.”
“In addition to creating a work of art in front of the Butter Factory on the day, Dennis will also be sharing some of his skills and secrets by way of workshops in the afternoon” event organiser Chris Bell said.
Other activities at Cooroy Fusion Festival include an Entertainment Tent; Cooroy Library activities; Cooroy RSL Pickled Possum Bar; Cooroy IGA Tastes of the Hinterland Marquee; Mother’s Day Activities; Geckoes Wildlife Show and a Rock Climbing Wall.
There is also the Noosa District Orchid & Foliage Society Annual Show in the Memorial Hall, displays at Cooroora Woodworkers, Cooroy Camphor Laurel, and the Butter Factory Arts Centre; plus market stalls and many other free activities such as rides, face painting and a great entertainment program.
