Community Noticeboard

Come and help local families while dancing the night away.

A bush dance is one of Australia’s great social traditions — live music, simple folk dances, plenty of laughter, and a caller who teaches every step, so no experience is needed. If you can walk, you can dance.

Live music and calling comes from The Swag and Fiddle Bushdance Band, who’ll have you kick up your toes and heels — suitable for all ages, from kids to grandparents. Doors open at 5:30pm; the dance floor kicks off shortly after.

Every ticket directly funds Aus Living Support’s three frontline programs — keeping local families housed, kids equipped for school, and the basics in the hands of people experiencing homelessness across the Sunshine Coast.

Warm up your creativity with exciting workshops starting soon at Caloundra Arts Centre.

.Bring the whole family along to enjoy A Fair Day Out!

A Fair Day Out is an event created with people with disabilities to show their creative talents at Eumundi Markets. It’s all about having fun and spending time with friends, both old and new. Our busy lives can easily keep us apart, so this event is a chance to come together each year and celebrate each other. It happens every spring on a Saturday market day.

Equity Works hosts the event, with support from the Eumundi Markets team and many community partners. A Fair Day Out is a great example of communities helping each other and making our favourite places more inclusive.

There are lots of free activities to enjoy, including a petting zoo, market stalls, food, and games like Nerf Wars. The whole family can join in the fun.

The main area of the event is at the Eumundi Amphitheatre. Here, people with disabilities run stalls following the Original Eumundi Markets’ idea of making, baking, sewing, and growing. There are also free art and craft activities for children.

Fiji Day on the Coast 2026 is a free, family-friendly community celebration marking 56 years of Fiji’s independence.

Presented by Bula Mate Project Inc., the event will celebrate Fijian culture, community and connection with market stalls, food vendors, live entertainment and an Official Opening Ceremony.

The event will be held from 10AM to 4PM, with the Official Opening Ceremony at 11AM.

The Opening is free but ticketed due to limited seating, with free seating registrations available via Humanitix.

Everyone is welcome.
