The weekend is loaded with lots of thrills and spills and is sure to keep you entertained. There are many spectator areas, some with grandstand seating for you to catch the action!

The Beerburrum Country Market is on Saturday 15^th November from 8.30 am to 1.30 pm.

Stall holders are welcome for inside the hall and outside shady grounds. With the warmer weather shining through, come and buy some cool gifts for the loved ones in your life from our local makers.

The Sunshine Beach State School P&C is hosting our very popular Community Christmas Carols and International Food Fair on the School Oval

Come and sing Carols, eat beautiful food from one of our many Food Vans, buy a snag hot from the BBQ and meet Santa.

Seating is provided but many people bring along their own rugs and make a night of it.

Be prepared for raucous laughter as the Minis sing their hearts out and give an extra big cheer to our Preppies and Year 6 students as they have their first and last Christmas Carols as part of Sunshine Beach Primary School respectively.

We would love to see you there.

It’s only a few weeks until the Buderim Community Carols will once again herald the beginning of the Christmas season.

This year’s event, presented by the Buderim War Memorial Community Association (BWMCA) with the support of Buderim
Bendigo Community Bank, will be held on Sunday, 14th December 2025, from 5.30pm, at the Buderim Village Park, Church Street, Buderim. The BWMCA Carols Committee has been working for months planning the event, which promises to be the best yet.

BWMCA Carols organiser Andrew Butterworth said last year’s event attracted thousands of people, with families coming from across the Coast to celebrate together.

“This year’s entertainment is once again directed by local entertainment professional Riley Cope, and we are delighted that Sunshine Coast Mayor Rosanna Natoli is joining us again as MC,” Mr Butterworth said.

Riley Cope said this year’s programme would feature performers from Cope Creative, Buderim Youth Theatre, Musical Theatre Holiday Intensive, Elite Dance Institute and 13 Ticks.

“There will also be plenty of opportunities for the community to join in and sing together,” he said.

Mr Butterworth said community organisations are once again getting involved to offer a wide range of food for sale so families can make a night of it, enjoying dinner or treats while enjoying the Carols.

Food and refreshments available for purchase will include a sausage sizzle from the Buderim Scout Group, hamburgers from the Buderim Rotary Club, hot dogs from the Buderim Lions Club, fairy floss from the Buderim Foundation and popcorn from Magnolia Health. These volunteer organisations will be raising funds for their local charities. Entry to Carols is by gold coin donation, and Candlelite candles and other fun products will also be available for purchase, with funds raised going to the BWMCA to help fund the event.

This year we also have the Local Ambulance Association’s CPR Awareness Van returning to Carols. The van is specially fitted out so it offers the community a great opportunity to learn from the volunteers who will be demonstrating CPR skills and find out more about these important life-saving skills.

“We hope the Buderim community will join in the spirit of peace and goodwill as we head into Christmas and we would love to invite families from communities throughout the Coast to join us,” Mr Butterworth said.

“So bring your chairs or picnic rugs and come and celebrate together.”

Buderim Bendigo Community Bank branch manager Darryl Stephenson said the Bank was very proud to continue its support of Carols, which is always a great way to welcome in the festive season and come together as a community.

“We are so fortunate to have such a talented line-up of performers. It will be a very special event and a
highlight on the calendar for the whole community,” Mr Stephenson said.

The event is made possible through the generous support of event partners including major sponsor Buderim Bendigo Community Bank and proudly supported by the Sunshine Coast Council’s grants programme, Hopkins Manttan Solicitors, Reflected Image PRoductions, Cope Creative, JPG Print and Design, Fenwicks Fruit Emporium, and 104.9 Sunshine FM.

Like last year, in addition to printed programmes, there will also be electronic programs available via QR code so you can get carol lyrics on your phone or mobile device. Grab the QR code from the BWMCA Facebook page – it will be posted a couple of days prior to Carols or ask one of the volunteers at the event.

Parking close to the Buderim Village Park is available at the Buderim Mountain State School, Main Street, Buderim and will be operated by Buderim Lions. $2 donation on entry.

To keep up to date with weather conditions in the lead-up to the event, stay tuned to 104.9 Sunshine FM and the BWMCA Facebook page – www.facebook.com/buderimwarmemorialcommunityassociation.

In the event of severe weather, the show will go on in the Buderim War Memorial Hall next to the park. Numbers attending will be limited to the hall capacity.
