New Year’s revellers are set to thrive at an event featuring “music, art and human connection”.

Some of the hottest local musical acts will be involved, including Tijuana Cartel, Dubarray and Phil Barlow.

Reef Check Australia is involved as the charity of choice for THRIVE NYE.

“Mask Events is all about creating connections with each other through shared experiences. Reef Check Australia does the same, with nature as their medium. For us, supporting a local group who supports our coastal home is a great opportunity to share the love,” Mask Events CEO Domenic Fusca said.

Sonic Artistry Entertainment Director Brett Gadenne said it was great they could work together.

“How we treat our environment is a reflection of how we treat ourselves. I love that we can all work together as a community to keep our spirits high, our oceans clean, and our lives full,” he said.

Reef Check Australia’s General Manager Jodi Salmond said they appreciated support.

“Reef Check Australia is the only citizen science-based program consistently documenting reef health of the Sunshine Coast and we rely on the support of the local community to continue our essential work.”
