Food and wine events, sporting competitions and enough live music to keep your foot tapping day and night tops it all off.

NOOSA CUISINE
The very best in Australian food and wine
For the most memorable meals in the month of May, get yourself a ticket to the 2008 Settler’s Cove Celebration of Australian Food and Wine, Noosa Style. What makes this event so delicious, you may ask? The answer is 80 of Australia’s top chefs, winemakers and food critics who will all descend upon Noosa to whip up a culinary storm.

Feast on Thomas
Each year the restaurants and shops put on a mini festival which they call Feast on Thomas and this year the event will be held on Saturday 10 May. Local chefs will showcase their cuisine in a market stall setting – with street performers and live music to make for a colourful and creative evening for the family.

NOOSA CULTURE
An explosion of music at The J
Mayfiesta kicks off with a very exciting music concert featuring rising singing star Kate Miller-Heidke. If you prefer to dance to the tune of gypsy music then The J has got the perfect concert for you. Brisbane-based DOCH is set to storm the stage with a wall of eastern European high energy sound and electrifying Balkan rhythms and so much more...

Jazz great takes to the stage
He has played with some of the greatest musicians in the world and now the king of Australian jazz will take to the stage with the sensational Deni Hines during Mayfiesta. The performance will be part of the “Great Aussie Picnic & Live Concert” on the final day of the Settler’s Cove Celebration of Australian Food & Wine – Noosa style.

NOOSA ACTION
Noosa Blue Water Swim
It has become the premier ocean swim in south east Queensland and each year more and more swimmers are sliding into their Speedos and heading this way to take part in the Noosa Blue Water Swim. With several events of varying difficulty, including a Nipper Challenge, you’d be crazy not to bring your cozzie and give it a go!

Riverfest Regatta
The Riverfest Regatta is three full days of fishing, sailing, rowing and riverside entertainment as Noosa’s main water way is transformed into a river of activity. There will be fishing workshops for the kids, angling competitions for the pros and rowing events for those who want to flex their muscles downstream.

NOOSA NATURE

Kicking off the Mayfiesta deals is Bugsports Adventures – offering discounted mountain bike safaris through Noosa’s hinterland. For action closer to the water we have Adventure Sports Kitesurf Australia who run kayak tours and kitesurfing lessons.
