Dawn Awakening – Horizon Festival (New Date)

Horizon Festival’s Dawn Awakening has been rescheduled to Sunday 30 October at 4.30am.

NEW DETAILS

New date: Sunday 30 October

Location: Stumers Creek, Coolum Beach QLD 4573

Time: 4.30am on the dot. Please arrive early and make sure you are seated no later than 4.20am.

(The sunrise is integral to the ceremony, so the start time has been brought forward 30 mins to reflect that.)

EVENT OVERVIEW

Gather with us along the banks of Stumers Creek in Coolum as the first light rises and the voices of First Peoples call in a new energy for these times.

Together we will journey through story, dance, song, visual art projections, spoken word and fire installations, to reflect, strengthen and testify a flourishing connection to country, culture and each other.

BOOKINGS

This is a free event, but registrations are essential.

PARKING + GETTING THERE

Parking on Stumers Creek Road is quite limited so a ‘Park n Ride’ service will be available from Tickle Park to Stumers Creek from 3.30am to 4.15am and then 5.30am to 7.00am.

OTHER THINGS TO NOTE

• Please remember to bring a torch. Walk together in groups and supervise small children as it will be quite dark.

• Please bring warm clothing and a rug or picnic chair to sit on.

• If you bring a chair, we ask that you please sit to the back of the audience viewing area, so that people seated on the ground can see.

• A coffee van will be located in the carpark for warm drinks.

• You are welcome to bring your own warm drinks (in non-disposable cups).

• Photography (without flash) is welcomed but we ask that you remain seated during the performance.
