What to expect

The festival adds swims, fun runs, a criterium and kids' events, and around 40,000 visitors fill the town for the week. The finish precinct on Noosa Parade carries a genuine big-event atmosphere, while Main Beach and Hastings Street do the after-party. Entries and accommodation both sell out months ahead.
