Last year (2010) the parade saw some 15,000 people line the
shores of the Mooloolaba to watch the parade and some 40 plus
vessels competing for various sponsor donated prizes, we are
seeking sponsorship in various forms to make this year’s event
bigger and better than ever before.
Together we can all make a parade to look forward to every year,
to bring our children to and to kick off the festive season with
an amazing community event, sponsored by local businesses. We
would like to see this parade be recognized on the world scale as
an event to be witnessed and as a major draw card for the
Sunshine Coast Tourism calendar.
Bring on the 2011 Mooloolaba Christmas Boat
Parade!
