Festival looks to be bigger and better

FOLLOWING the success of the 2015 Noosa Long Weekend Festival, the event organisers are planning an even bigger and better event for their 15th anniversary in July 2016.
To help make the dream a reality, the event organisers are calling for interested people to help make next year a year to remember.
Festival president Johanne Wright said there are currently vacancies on the management committee.
Johanne is calling on anyone in the community with a strong interest in the arts and culture with skills in a range of areas from events and arts management to PR and marketing, hospitality and tourism, plus accounting.
“We want to expand our access to the wonderful local expertise we have in our community to enable more community events to be organised,” she said. “So we are also looking for people who are capable and enjoy organising and putting an event together to come and help us with all our madcap ideas that need a bit of dedication to turn into an exciting activity that will draw crowds from all over the place.”
For further information contact Johanne on 0415 873 552 or email her at president@noosalongweekend.com.
