Every little witch, ghoul, goblin and caped crusader is invited along for an evening of tricks, treats and seasonal fun by the water.

A Look Back at Last Year

Last year’s Halloween drew families from across the Noosa region, with the boardwalk filled with skeletons, princesses, superheroes and a few very convincing zombies. Children lined up for magic tricks, danced in their costumes and called in at the precinct’s retailers for treats. A light shower of rain didn’t slow anyone down, with trick-or-treaters making their way along the wet boardwalk under the evening lights.

This year’s event builds on that same relaxed, community feel.

What’s On

Trick-or-Treating
Children are encouraged to bring a bucket or treat bag and collect Halloween goodies as they make their way around the precinct.

Costumes Encouraged
Scary, silly or completely original, all costumes are welcome. Whether it’s a homemade creation or a favourite character, the evening is a chance to dress up and join in.

Face Painting
Little ones can transform into a skeleton, a pumpkin or a mischievous monster at the face painting station.

Magic and Live Entertainment
Magic and live entertainment will run throughout the evening, with plenty of moments to keep children (and adults) guessing.

Food Trucks and Themed Treats
Food trucks and Halloween-inspired treats will be on hand, so families can grab a bite and a few sweets along the way.

Waterfront Atmosphere
With the evening settling over the river and Halloween decorations around the precinct, Noosa Marina offers a festive setting for the occasion.

Make a Night of It

Families are welcome to arrive early and enjoy dinner at one of the precinct’s waterfront restaurants before the festivities begin. With the event finishing at 8pm, it’s an easy evening out for younger children, without a late night.

Little ones, big kids and grown-ups who secretly love Halloween the most are all invited to join the celebration at Noosa Marina this October.

The post Halloween at Noosa Marina 2026 appeared first on Noosa Marina.

The Noosa Marina Markets return on Sunday 27 September with a family adventure theme, plus the launch of the Great Noosa Marina Treasure Hunt.

Set on the waterfront boardwalk at Noosa Marina in Tewantin, the Markets run from 8am to 2pm on the 2nd and 4th Sunday of every month. This September, we are turning the boardwalk into a morning of pirates, mermaids and treasure hunting, with the river rolling by and plenty to keep the whole family busy.

What to Expect at the Markets

Wander the artisan stalls filled with handcrafted local wares, then settle in for breakfast or lunch overlooking the water. There is live music through the morning, prizes on offer, and the chance for the little ones to meet a real-life mermaid or pirate and grab a photo.

It is a relaxed way to spend a Sunday by the water, whether you are stocking up at the stalls, catching up with friends over coffee, or letting the kids loose on the adventure.

The Great Noosa Marina Treasure Hunt

This edition also marks the launch of the Great Noosa Marina Treasure Hunt, and here is the best part: it is here to stay.

Hidden around the Marina are seven magical sea creatures, and they are not easy to spot. Keep your eyes peeled for the Turtle, the Jellyfish, the Dolphin, the Starfish, the Crab, the Stingray and the Seahorse.

Each creature is guarding a secret letter. Find all seven, unscramble the letters and reveal the magical word. There may just be treasure waiting for the clever ones who crack it.

Because the Treasure Hunt lives at the Marina permanently, there is always an adventure waiting, whether you are here for the weekend or spending the day with the family. So even outside market days, grab a map and set off.

Getting Here Is Part of the Fun

Catch the Noosa Ferry along the river from Hastings Street and arrive by water, or take the bus, walk, ride or scooter your way in. There is something rather nice about the kids spotting the Marina from the river, stepping ashore, and setting off on a real-life treasure hunt.

Event Details

Date: Sunday 27 September
Time: 8am to 2pm
Location: Noosa Marina, Tewantin

Bring your little pirates, bring your mermaids, and bring your sense of adventure. We will see you on the boardwalk.

The post The Noosa Marina Markets Are Back, With a New Treasure Hunt appeared first on Noosa Marina.

The idea behind it is a playful one. Each piece reimagines the people of Noosa Marina in the style of the Renaissance masters - the ferry skippers, restaurateurs, shopkeepers and regulars who give the Marina its character. Following the trail along the water, visitors are likely to spot a few familiar faces along the way.

The exhibition is on display day and night for the whole of August, and there is no charge to view it.

About the artist

Steven Hill is a mixed media photographer and printmaker based at Cootharaba, working under the name Bulumbeer Art. His practice turns photography into expressive, themed collections, each built around a distinct visual idea. For this exhibition he has worked on canvas and brushed aluminium, choosing materials that hold up to the weather while the works are on show along the boardwalk.

Have your say with the People's Choice Award

Visitors are invited to vote for their favourite work through the People's Choice Award. Each piece carries a QR code - scan it, fill in the short voting form, and the vote is counted. There is no limit on how many works a person can vote for, though each work takes one vote per person.

Every vote also goes into the draw for prizes donated by Noosa Marina businesses, including Café VinCino, Downward Dog Hot Yoga, Dusty's Kitchen, Noosa Gelato House, Harbourside Hats, Lucio's Marina, Luxury Boat Hire Noosa, Maharani Marina, Noosa Ferry & Cruise Co, The Marina Bar, Peli's, The White House, Noosa Queen and Noosa Cruiser. Prize winners will be drawn from the votes received, with prizes collected in person at the Marina.

Voting is open to those aged 18 and over and closes on 31 August 2026. The work with the highest number of votes will be named the 2026 People's Choice winner.
Full terms and conditions are available at mediapr360.au/TermsConditions.

Making a day of it

The exhibition suits a slow morning or afternoon. Wander the trail with a coffee in hand, stop for lunch at one of the Marina's waterfront restaurants, and finish with gelato by the river. The trail is self-guided, so there is no set pace to keep.

Getting here

Noosa Marina sits on the river at Tewantin. The Noosa Ferry stops right at the Marina, which makes for a relaxed way to arrive from Noosaville or Noosa Heads, and a handy option while roadworks continue on the Doonella Lake Bridge. Ferry timetables are at noosaferry.com. Parking is available at the Marina for those travelling by car.

Cost: Free

Take the ferry

The Noosa Ferry stops right at Noosa Marina, making it the simplest way to reach us while work is underway. Board at Noosaville or Noosa Heads, settle in for a cruise along the river, and step off at the Marina jetty with no traffic and no parking to think about. It turns the trip into part of the day out - and the winter light on the river is worth the ride alone. Timetables and fares are at noosaferry.com.

Coming by car

The Marina remains fully accessible by road throughout the works. Travelling from the Noosaville direction, allow a little extra time for possible delays at the bridge, particularly around weekends and peak periods. Approaching from Cooroy or the hinterland side, your run into Tewantin is unaffected. Parking is available at the Marina as usual.

By boat

Arriving on the water? Nothing changes. Visitor berths are available at the Marina - contact the Marina office for details.

Worth the trip

However you arrive, winter is one of the best times to visit. Crisp mornings on the boardwalk, long lunches by the river, live music every weekend, and the calendar is filling up - keep an eye on our events page for what's coming to the Marina this August.

The post Roadworks Ahead: The Easy Ways to Get to Noosa Marina This Winter appeared first on Noosa Marina.

Peli's and Lucio's Marina both earned a place in the publication's roundup, compiled by Gourmet Traveller's expert team. It is a strong showing for the Marina, with a quarter of the list found right here on the Tewantin waterfront.

Peli's

From the team behind Sum Yung Guys, Peli's centres on share-style Mediterranean flavours that suit its waterfront setting. Gourmet Traveller singled out the woodfired flat bread, which has quickly become a signature, along with the ocean trout crudo, grilled Port Lincoln sardines and glazed lamb shoulder with smoked yoghurt. The $55 prix-fixe lunch also earned a mention as excellent value, especially with the view that comes with it.

Lucio's Marina

At Lucio's Marina, Gourmet Traveller highlighted the family story behind the restaurant. Owner Matteo Galletto is the son of Lucio Galletto, who ran the much-loved Lucio's in Paddington, Sydney for almost 40 years. Menu highlights in the write-up included the truffle steak tartare cornetto, octopus carpaccio with olive emulsion and salsa verde, and the signature tagliolini alla granseola, reworked here with local spanner crab.

Visit soon

Both restaurants are open for bookings now. Whether it is a long lunch at Peli's or dinner overlooking the river at Lucio's Marina, a table at either is a good reason to make your way to Noosa Marina.
