For a truly magificant display of colour, look no further than The Australian Body Art Carnivale in Eumundi where the age old art of body painting is celebrated with gusto.
A visual feast for visitors, the Carnivale invites artists to showcase their visions on the canvas of a body in categories include airbrush, brush, and sponge and brush. Also included are exhibits and parades of Wearable Art, demonstrations of Special Effects Body Art, workshops and a gallery of Pavement Art.
While you're there, take some time out from the Carnivale to explore the beautiful surrounds of Eumundi and the wider Sunshine Coast hinterland area.
The Australian Body Art Carnivale is proudly supported by Queensland Events through the Queensland Events Regional Development Program.
Regional events deliver an enormous boost to local economies - bringing in business, creating jobs, attracting tourists and fuelling growth, prosperity and a tremendous sense of pride for the host communities.
Already, the funding program has provided more than $10 million to over 500 regional events since it started as a world-first initiative in 2001. Across the State, thousands of individuals, community groups, local councils and in some cases entire towns, put countless hours into ensuring their events are a success.
Queensland Events is proud to share the passion and the achievements of the State's regions through this program. Enjoy the Carnivale and I hope you will have an opportunity to discover more of Queensland's great events in the coming year.
