Visitors and locals are invited to explore, experience, and immerse themselves in the bold new program, boasting more than 50 events across 10 Sunshine Coast locations.

This year’s program features internationally acclaimed and local artists displaying new work  commissioned by Council.

Hinterland Festival Highlights include:

• Supperclub Mapleton – Falls Farm and Mapleton Public House, Mapleton: Join artist Lowana Davies at Falls Farm for Catching a Whiff – a guided walking tour inviting you to follow your nose through the smells of Falls Farm. An amalgamation of science, performance, and olfaction - followed by a guided dining experience -a collaboration between exceptional chefs, regenerative farmers, and artists at Mapleton Public House.

• Hold Me Closer Tony Danza – Black Box, Old Ambulance Station, Nambour: A gateway for non-theatre audiences, this seductive work reflects a modern minefield of potential misrepresentations.  “Tony” confronts our awkward reality of responsibility through a choreography of discomfort, lack of coordination, inappropriate dynamics, and Elton John. Get ready to dance-off as if your life depends on it!
