The full program for the Caloundra Music Festival has been released, as thousands of people prepare to converge on the three-day event.
More than 80 artists will hit the stage from Friday, September 29, to Sunday, October 1. Festival fans can go all-in with a weekend pass or buy day tickets via Caloundra Music Festival before the final ticket release kicks in next week. They can download the festival APP via iOS and Android.
The event will also showcase Sunshine Coast’s local producers, retail and tourism offerings and provide a boost to the region’s businesses and economy.
Sunshine Coast Councillor Terry Landsberg said 60 per cent of ticket sales were from out-of-region, reflecting that the artist line-up and the destination were great attractions for our town.
“Caloundra was named Queensland’s Tourism Town earlier this year and last week named one of Australia’s top three tourism towns,” he said.
“The sun just keeps on shining for Caloundra’s reputation.
“Kings Beach businesses and Caloundra CBD are ready for the influx, hoping to finish off the school holidays on a high note.”
“Businesses across the region were invited to list on the CMF APP and still can.
“Punters can experience plenty of things to do before the festival kicks off each day, whether it’s jet ski hire, brekky at Coffee Cat on Kings, a float at City Cave, Frocal fresh fruit smoothies or a symphony of flavours at Harry’s Beach Bistro and more.”
There will seven local craft brewers and distillers offering up their award-winning beers and spirits at the five festival bars, thanks to Beachtree Distilling Co, Brouhaha Brewery, Diablo Co, Moffat Beach Brewing Co, Paradise Rum, Terella Brewing and Your Mates Brewing Co.
The festival works closely with local suppliers, vendors, staff and volunteers to create an event the Sunshine Coast can be proud of. Businesses wanting to get in front of the CMF audience via the APP can message for the form link via Facebook or Instagram @caloundramusicfestival.
Cr Landsberg reminded residents and visitors that a number of park, road and carpark closures will take place in the Kings Beach area in order to safely build, run and pack down the Caloundra Music Festival.
“Set-up started September 18 and your patience is appreciated during this time,” he said.
All CMF infrastructure will be removed, and parklands will be completely reopened by 5pm on Friday, October 6.
The festival is an initiative of Sunshine Coast Council and supported by the Queensland Government through Tourism and Events Queensland.
Buddina based business The Branding Office is taking orders for festival merchandise.
