2 Sunshine Coast Festive Season Guide 2012/13
Celebrate this summer by getting involved in the 2012/13 Sunshine Coast Festive Season program.
Sunshine Coast Council supports festive season events that reflect the cultural values, diversity and lifestyle of our communities – and the packed program of more than 70 fun, family-friendly activities held throughout December and January is sure to please.
This guide provides you with information on the wide variety of festive activities taking place across the region.
I encourage you to: • follow the Christmas Tree Trail
with 32 trees lighting up across the region
• find your creative side at the green arts workshops
• take part in local community carols and festive events
• enjoy the exciting New Year’s Eve and Australia Day celebrations.
Share the spirit of the season by catching up with neighbours, both old and new, and support your community by heading out to a local event near you.
So, enjoy the festive season and please stay safe, keep cool, look out for each other and have fun!
