James Morrison blew the roof off The J Theatre last Thursday night, opening the 20 year anniversary of Noosa Alive Festival. And there’s still plenty not to be missed as we head to the finale of the Festival. Friday 29 July is the Long Lunch on Hastings, and the Seaside Vibes two-day music festival on Noosa’s Main Beach starts at 4pm on Friday 29 with a line-up that will have everyone dancing in the sand. Saturday continues into day two of the Seaside Vibes music festival and the Jazz n’ Blues on Sunday 31 at Main Beach is sure to please with gates opening at 11am, inviting you to enjoy the final day of Noosa Alive. Another key event to check out is the First Light projection event within Hastings Street precinct.

And the art installation is free to visit and will be running in conjunction with Noosa Regional Gallery until Sunday 31 July. During the week Noosa Alive guests have well and truly been entertained with a wide variety of events. The Junction precinct was buzzing all week with The Multicultural Comedy Gala winding the light-hearted Noosa folk into a giggly spin. The Noosa Arts Theatre hosted David Williamson’s play Money & Friends, with an outstanding local cast of a few new faces and some old favourites. Last Saturday, Al Rossi joined the stage with his son Damian Anthony Rossi to present an entertaining and insightful glimpse into his career as an American based actor/director, rubbing shoulders with famous Hollywood

screen and stage stars who inspired his journey for more than 50 years. Noosa’s latest girl crush Geraldine Brooks entertained guests on Monday, explaining her love of writing combined with her late-in-life horse riding passion which lead to the creation of her latest novel, Horse. Paris Underground put on a spectacular French-style cirque, cabaret, magic, burlesque performance on 23 July, and those who watched Porcelain Alice were left gobsmacked. Grigoryan Brothers moved the crowd on Monday with their music about Australian historical objects from the National Museum of Australia. Local country girl Lisa Millar joined guests for breakfast on Tuesday to present her book

Daring to Fly, along with her stories of conquering fear and finding joy while reporting during her successful career as a journalist. Slow Food Noosa presented a favourite Noosa Alive event, Film With Food while viewing the film Delicious a French Arthouse film which builds to the story of opening the first restaurant in France. Youth talent quest, Noosa Stars Alive, saw local performers aged eight to 18 years of age battle it out for the first ever winner who was announced on Tuesday night. The popular opera on the beach, Moonlight Serenade, was as always one of the best events of the program set on Noosa’s Main Beach under the stars. For more information visit noosaalive.com. au
