This will be followed by Spanish-themed food, wine and dance on Friday night. Mr Squires said Reignite was a mini-festival program which this year served as a precursor to the annual 10-day Noosa alive! festival scheduled for July 15 – 24. “After the challenges and restrictions of COVID over the past year and the cancelling of events, it is genuinely exciting to again be presenting a program of live performances here on the Sunshine Coast,” Mr Squires said. He said the literary highlight of the festival was Friday’s sold-out Noosa Boathouse dinner and conversation night with Boy Swallows Universe author Trent Dalton.
