Noosa Alive 2026

NOOSA alive! Festival is a major annual arts and culture event held in Australia’s iconic Noosa, running over 10 days in July. As the region’s premier arts and culture event, NOOSA alive! brings together local, national and international performers, writers, artists, and speakers, to create a diverse cultural program. Set on beautiful Kabi Kabi/Gubbi Gubbi country, our spectacular events take place across iconic Noosa locations—including local restaurants, theatres, and outdoor venues—blending art and entertainment with Noosa’s famous natural beauty and relaxed lifestyle.

NOOSA alive! is an incorporated association and is registered as a not for profit organisation, governed by a voluntary Management Committee. The Festival would not exist without the generosity of these volunteers, and the many other volunteers who commit their time to the success of the Festival. Just as important are the many sponsors who provide financial and in kind assistance to the Festival. Our Patrons, Friends and Business Friends provide financial and staunch support to the Festival. The Management Committee thanks all of our supporters for their loyalty and generosity. To make a contribution to NOOSA alive! Festival get involved.
