The Inaugural Gala Community Evening

On Friday, 21st February, we hosted the inaugural Gala Community Evening at the Noosa Sofitel Pacific Resort.

an exciting new initiative designed to give local businesses the opportunity to win a major festival sponsorship and unlock a game-changing marketing opportunity. With a short lead time from concept to execution, we are pleased with the results and look forward to growing this initiative long into the future.

With over 100 guests in attendance on the night, guests were treated to a memorable night. The evening was a huge success, bringing together the Noosa business community for a night of networking & celebration. It was also the first opportunity we had to unveil the Pink Nose Revolution – A charity organistion dedicated to bridging the gap in gender inequality and bringing more awareness to domestic violence through the attributes of sport.

Festival Chairman, John Finlay believes this initiative is a crucial addition to the Festival, strengthening ties with the local business community and providing a unique way for businesses to gain significant exposure through the event which is approaching its 34th year in 2025. By creating an accessible pathway to a high-value sponsorship, the Festival not only supports local businesses but also ensures that the event remains deeply connected to the Noosa region. “Looking ahead, we plan to grow this initiative, encouraging even more businesses to participate and expanding the opportunities available”. Said John.

At the end of the night, we were thrilled to announce that Pete Lever & Brooke Davies from Diverse Lending Solutions were the inaugural winners of this incredible prize. Congratulations to Pete and Brooke, we can’t wait to see your brand take center stage at the Noosa Festival of Surfing!
