Indulge in refreshing cocktails from the Botanicals Bar and prepare for Noosa’s latest addition to the culinary calendar.
From 18-20 August, Noosa will be celebrating the rich heritage and unique ingredients that have been part of its history for thousands of years. This culinary adventure, styled in the distinctive Junction manner, will feature a menu that honours native and wild ingredients, their producers, and their storied origins.
This makes it a great weekend to book a BBQ Pontoon cruise or jet ski adventure at Terrace Marina. Novices and experts alike can rent a vessel of their choice and set sail on the calm waters. Guided tours are available for those unfamiliar with the waters, offering a chance to learn about the local marine life, history, and landmarks. For those who prefer a more hands-on experience, kayaking and paddle boarding provide an intimate encounter with the water, allowing participants to navigate the marina’s nooks and crannies at their own pace.
Take in the incredible beauty of Noosa’s diverse waterways and natural environment. Relax and recharge, embrace the surroundings, developing a timeless sense of place. A distinct place you can taste at Noosa’s newest culinary event celebrating local producers.
