Organisers have confirmed that the 2023 Horizon Festival, a 10-day showcase of culture, music, visual art, theatre, dance, comedy and creative workshops, will return in 2023 from August 25 to September 3.
Sunshine Coast Council’s Horizon Festival Director Hannah Clissold said audiences and participants could expect more of everything at this year’s festival.
“We are excited to again have a strong arts and cultural line up, showcasing an impressive array of local artists alongside some nationally recognised and, for the first time since the 2019 Festival, one internationally recognised act,” Ms Clissold said.
“First Nations art and artists will be at the forefront of our programming with incredible cultural experiences woven through the festival. Homegrown, which is presented in partnership with The Regional Arts Development Fund (RADF), will return for its fourth year, providing a platform for three talented local artists to present projects across the festival period. And excitingly, last year’s well received festival hub at Cotton Tree with the spectacular Wonderland Spiegeltent, is returning this year.
“We’ve taken on board all the feedback and learnings from 2022 and in this year’s program we want to bring the community together, offer more free art experiences, more food and family entertainment – just more excitement, made accessible for everyone across the region to enjoy.”
