All the colours of the festival

Last weekend saw Noosaville come to life more than usual with all colours of the rainbow for three fun-filled days.
The Rainbow River Festival kicked off on Friday night with events across the whole weekend, winding up with the River Parade on Sunday afternoon with a flamingo theme, bringing all sorts of colourful birds out onto the water.
The rain held off and the skies cleared for an afternoon of fun and celebration of the LGBTI community in Noosa Shire.
