For years Noosa was a fancied destination for post Mardi Gras parade recovery sessions, adding valuable pink dollars to the local economy. But Rainbow Festival organiser Kirsty Patten said these days the festival catered more for residents and general Noosa visitors. “I think those (post recovery) days ended in the ’80s and the ’90s,” Ms Patten said. The Rainbow River Festival cruise is a social highlight of the event.
