Caloundra's Footpath Frenzy: Vibrant Buy Local Day Event

Celebrating the essence of community and supporting our small businesses. Saturday, June 22, 2024 is the Sunshine Coast's Buy Local Day. Caloundra's CBD businesses are embracing a Footpath Frenzy to celebrate - a localised event to showcase our town's hidden gems.

Initiated by our local businesses, the Footpath Frenzy is part of a larger campaign aimed at reminding us of the invaluable importance of backing our small businesses. This dedication to supporting local is what sets Caloundra apart and makes our town a hub of creativity and vibrancy.
