WHAT’S ON?

Outdoor movie: Sing

Starry Nights Movies and Experience Eumundi are hosting a free outdoor movie night on 1 March at the Eumundi Amphitheatre with the movie Sing.

The musical comedy features animated animals and focuses on a struggling theatre owner – koala Buster Moon – who stages a singing competition to raise funds. The competition doesn’t go to plan as the movie’s plot follows the ups and downs of the lives of contestants.

Arrive by 6pm and set up on the grassy banks. Popcorn and sausage sizzle are available for purchase. Visit: FB Experience Eumundi.

Clean Up Australia Day 2025

Volunteers from the Rotary Club of Eumundi and interested community members will be participating in Clean Up Australia Day on 2 March. The clean up event will be held throughout the Eumundi township. Participants will gather on the boardwalk diagonally opposite the Post Office on Memorial Dr just prior to 8am for registration, a safety briefing and risk warning. All are welcome to join, however volunteers under 15yo must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian.

Clean Up Australia will supply some gardening gloves, but participants are encouraged to bring their own gloves and garbage bags and to wear sturdy, enclosed shoes.

Last year’s focus – the 5 tunnels of Eumundi –proved fruitful and we will be following the same path this year. Where possible we would like to recycle much of what we find by separating items, as we find them, into different bags. The event should conclude by 10am.

Participation in the event will contribute to the certifying process for Eumundi being recognised as the first Kind Community in the world.

Skywhales coming to the Sunshine Coast

Details of events for this year’s 2025 Horizon Festival of contemporary art will be unveiled on 27 February. However, Sunshine Coast Council (SCC) Mayor Rosanna Natoli has given us some sneak peaks.

For the first time in SE Qld, Skywhales Across Australia will be presented at the Horizon Festival. They comprise 2 massive whale-shaped hot air balloons and their appearance is part of a tour sponsored by the Australian National Gallery.

Australian rapper and musician BARKAA will perform at the opening night street party in Ocean St. Festival organisers are looking for up to 100 locals to be part of a performance called Us and All of This, that will involve moving together “in an act of radical slowness” in Buhk Park in Alexandra Headlands on 11 May.
