As Horizon Festival on the Sunshine Coast draws to a close, it brings together its final month of digital and live experiences.
August, as per the last two months, is filled with a blend of music and art in many forms.
From an indie-folk open air concert with The Dreggs, to rock music with Katie Noonan and Eumundi School Of Rock, ephemeral performance art at Coolum Beach, The Bunker spoken word's grand final, projection art and a celebration of Indigenous artists. . . There's plenty of inspiration, entertainment and creativity to go around.

"Horizon Festival 2020 has necessarily undergone a remarkable transformation this year and what better way to bring it to a close than with a wonderful array of music, visual art and spoken word to lift all our spirits through the celebration of art and our indigenous cultural heritage," Community Portfolio Councillor Rick Baberowski says.

Horizon's Artistic Director, Lynne Bradley, adds that the August programme is a great way to end the festival, with a suite of innovative and entertaining live and digital events.
"The silver lining of going online this year has been increased reach," she says, "with arts lovers from around Australia discovering for the first time, the Horizon Festival, our wonderful region, and the talented array of artists that call the Sunshine Coast home."
