Dawn Awakening

*** Rescheduled Date: SUNDAY 30 OCTOBER 2022 @ 4:30am ***

Horizon Festival’s most celebrated and loved event, Dawn Awakening, returns in 2022.

Gather with us along the banks of Stumers Creek in Coolum as the first light rises and the voices of First Peoples call in a new energy for these times.

Together we will journey through story, dance, song, visual art projections, spoken word and fire installations, to reflect, strengthen and testify a flourishing connection to country, culture and each other.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION:

Bookings:
This is a free event, but registrations are essential. Numbers are limited so get in early.

Start Time:
Dawn Awakening will commence at 4.30am on the dot. Please arrive early and make sure you are seated no later than 4.20am.
(Please note: the sunrise is integral to the ceremony, so the start time has been brought forward 30mins to reflect that).

What to Bring:
Please bring warm clothes, rugs or a picnic chair to sit on. If you bring a chair we ask that you please sit to the back of the audience viewing area so that people seated on the ground can see.
A coffee van will be located in the carpark for warm drinks. You are welcome to bring your own warm drinks (in non-disposable cups).

Photography without a flash is welcomed but we ask that you remain seated during the performance.
