What a beautiful way to celebrate 5 years of Hello Sunshine Magazine ✨

We loved celebrating the launch of Hello Sunshine magazine at the stunning Alsahwa Estate, surrounded by wonderful people, great conversation and the kind of energy that makes a moment feel truly special. From the setting to the atmosphere, the night perfectly reflected what Hello Sunshine is all about — connection, creativity and community.

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who joined us to toast this exciting new chapter, and to Alsahwa Estate for being such a gorgeous host.

What a way to end the year!

URGENT NOTICE - Peregian Beach Carols Rescheduled to Monday 22 December

Due to torrential rain and strong winds across the region, organisers have made the decision to postpone tomorrow’s Peregian Beach Carols.

The conditions mean Santa’s much-anticipated skydiving arrival would not be able to proceed safely, and without Santa, the event would not be the same.

Severe storms and torrential rain are also predicted over the next two days.

The safety of performers, volunteers and the community remain the top priority, along with ensuring Santa can arrive safely and deliver the magic families look forward to each year.

The Peregian Beach Carols will now be held on Monday, 22 December.

Ticket holders have been notified of the change, with tickets remaining valid for the new date. Refunds are available for those unable to attend.

Organisers thank the community for their understanding and ongoing support and look forward to welcoming everyone back for a festive evening filled with music, Santa and village cheer.
