The Noosa Alive festival kicked off with an “extraordinary” weekend of entertainment in glorious weather as crowds flocked to the area.
Festival spokeswoman Georgi Cliot said there was “quite literally dancing in the aisles” at the opening launch with singer Luke Kennedy at The J theatre on Friday.
On Saturday, it was another packed crowd for Queensland Ballet which put on a show that was “absolutely sensational”.
“It was a real benchmark performance,” Georgi said.
For the first time, Radio Hot 91.1 hosted a free evening of entertainment and fireworks at Lions Park on Saturday afternoon. The park was filled with families and “just went off”.
There were lunches, art events and forums to attend with Lior a highlight of the weekend on Sunday.
“There was a standing ovation for about five minutes,” Georgi said.
“Everyone kept trying to bring him back.”
The action continues until Sunday 30 July with events including Lady Beatle at The J Theatre Saturday night, Miss Hummingbird lunch and culminating in the closing event on Noosa Main Beach Sunday evening.
