Horizon Festival is an annual 10 day festival exploring the intersections of art, people, and place on Kabi Kabi and Jinibara Country, Sunshine Coast.
Horizon is a meeting point and a dividing line. Somewhere to connect, captivate, and challenge your notions—a place to wander and wonder through new art, music, performance and more. Horizon is a continuum. Always evolving, shifting slowly over time. Never lost, always searching.
Horizon Festival returns. Celebrating its tenth year, the Festival shines a light on diverse voices, shared experiences, and the power of belonging. 30+ programmed events span First Nations culture, visual and performing arts, live music, community engagement, and families.
