Premier's Message
The beautiful Kings Beach at Caloundra comes alive with a celebration of the environment, cultural achievements and community pride at the Caloundra Music Festival.
The festivities include a diverse line-up of entertainment from well-known Australian musicians and international artists, as well as a colourful street parade, roving performers, beach-side carnival and free children's entertainment.
The festival is, without a doubt, a treat for eyes and ears and there is no better way to enjoy the 'sun surf and soul' of Caloundra and its beautiful surrounds than by joining in the celebrations.
The Caloundra Music Festival is proudly supported by my Government through the Queensland Events Regional Development Program.
Regional events deliver an enormous boost to local economies - bringing in business, creating jobs, attracting tourists and fuelling growth, prosperity and a tremendous sense of pride for the host communities.
Already, the funding program has provided more than $9.7 million to some 460 regional events since it started as a world-first initiative in 2001. Across the State, thousands of individuals, community groups, local councils and in some cases entire towns, put countless hours into ensuring their events are a success.
The Queensland Government is proud to share the passion and the achievements of the State's regions through this program. Enjoy the Caloundra Music Festival, and I hope you will have an opportunity to discover more of Queensland's great events in the coming year.
