here’s a few extra things you can do when you visit coolum for Horizon festival.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Coolum is home to a few events this year. There’s The Playlist<\/a>, Collage with The Butiner<\/a>, and our most celebrated and loved event, Dawn Awakening<\/a>. It’s also a beautiful town to visit. So, rather than just coming for the event, why not make a day of it. Grab a coffee, explore the natural surroundings, or have a drink at the pub.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We asked Coolum local \u2014 and really, really, really great artist \u2014 Alison Mooney to show us around her neck of the woods. (We also made a pit stop at Alison’s studio. So below is a guide to that, too.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here’s how you should spend the day in Coolum. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

alison’s guide to coolum<\/strong><\/h1>\n\n\n\n

german bakehouse (coolum industrial)<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Start the morning here with a sugar pretzel and coffee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ping pong at the library <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Outside the library there’s a colourful ping pong table that the public can play. It’s a nice way to kill some time and I will accept all challengers on the table.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Boardwalk + check out the public art around town<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There’s heaps of public art around town for you to check out. Walk along the boardwalk and you’ll be met with nice views of the ocean and Kim Guthrie\u2019s<\/a> mirror work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Charcoal Chicken<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Go and get the worlds’ best chips and try to find the guy with an injured hand in their awesome, old school, print on the wall as you wait.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cool Art Picture Framing + Gallery<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Cool Art<\/a> is located in the Industrial Estate. The team are lovely. You can get your works framed or check out the gallery space upstairs (and view of water skiers out the window). They also make a great coffee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Coolum surf club<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Finish off with a drink at the surf club. The view is amazing and you can pretend you\u2019re in Summer Bay \u2014 just a young grommet hanging at the local after school.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
