Eumundi Foodie Night Markets

Friday 12th December | 4.30 pm – 8 pm

There’s no better way to kick off the holiday season than with an evening of incredible food, live music and relaxed festive cheer. Held under the stars in the charming hinterland village of Eumundi, this special edition of the Original Eumundi Foodie Night Market is set to be a crowd-pleaser.

From sizzling street eats to decadent desserts, the Sunshine Coast’s most mouth-watering and sought-after food stalls will be serving up delights to suit every taste. Not to mention Christmas carols and free kids activities including face painting and balloon twisting. It’s a deliciously laid-back way to celebrate the start of Christmas, surrounded by community, live music, and of course, great food.

Just a short drive from Seahaven, this is a must-do for foodies and families alike. Pair it with a scenic Noosa National Park walk or a dip in the Noosa Fairy Pools earlier in the day for a perfect summer’s outing.

Noosa Ferry Carol Cruise

Saturday 13 December

For something truly unique, board the Noosa Ferry and sing along to Christmas carols as you float past twinkling waterfront homes. Presented by Reed & Co. in partnership with local choirs, it’s a magical way to soak in the spirit of the season.

Join the carollers on board the decorated ferry, or set yourself up at one of the four stops along the riverbank with a picnic blanket or camp chairs and watch the illuminated boats cruise past. As carols drift across the Noosa River, it becomes a floating Christmas light show, a moment of magic for all ages.

It’s one of the most cherished Noosa activities of the season, perfect for families, couples, or anyone chasing that classic holiday feeling. Be sure to book early if you’d like to be on board, or arrive early to secure a spot along the shoreline.

Santa on the Beach

Only in Noosa can you swap snow for sand and meet Santa in boardies. Each evening, Santa visits Noosa Main Beach, offering a picture-perfect moment for the kids and the young at heart. It’s one of those cherished Noosa traditions that blends festive cheer with laid-back beach culture.

Stay just steps away from the action in our absolute beachfront accommodation, and enjoy the magic right at your doorstep. There’s nothing like Christmas on the beach in Noosa.

As the sun dips below the horizon, Noosa’s most iconic shoreline comes alive with the sound of Christmas cheer. On 12 December, the beach transforms into a festive stage as local choirs and musicians fill the evening air with timeless carols. Families and friends gather with picnic blankets and sandy toes, celebrating the season under the stars. This free community event is a heartwarming blend of song, sea breeze, and Noosa’s unique holiday magic, an experience worth marking the calender for.
