The Noosa Alive! Festival is back this July 2023. Take advantage of ten days of exciting performing arts. There are over 25 events, each with a story and a visual appeal. The festival provides something for everyone, and the stage is in Noosa’s fantastic venues ranging from The J Theatre to local school facilities to the iconic Main Beach.
2023 Noosa Alive!
As previously said, the festival lasts ten days and includes music, theatre, thought, and performances. With Noosa as the backdrop, the festival will arouse your senses with live acts, literary events, thought-provoking, mind-tingling, sensory-overload performances, and food and wine.
In 2022, Noosa Alive!, known initially as Noosa Long Weekend, marked its 20th anniversary. The festival will continue to feature a comprehensive program of events in 2023, bringing some of Australia’s and the world’s top performers, writers, filmmakers, musicians, artists, chefs, environmentalists, and pundits.
