Put your best dancing shoes on and pull out those paintbrushes – this years Village Festival is set to be one of the best yet – with ten action packed days of entertainment bring the Capricorn Coast on the Southern Great Barrier Reef to life!

Kicking off with the Opening night it’s time to channel your inner flapper or roaring 1920’s gentleman for the CQUniversity Village Festival Speakeasy Prohibition Party. Thanks to our event partners McGrath Real Estate Capricorn Coast and Kingsway Property Development you’ll be back in the roaring 1920s, music playing, flappers dancing around and around, bubbly flowing… Life is good!

Yeppoon Town Hall will be transformed into a Roaring 20’s Speakeasy, featuring a delicious grazing entrée, alternate drop dinner and surprise sweet treats, PLUS live music by Amelia and Groove Traders. Listen to smooth, well-known, Jazz standards followed by a main course of crowd-favourite anthems while you dance the night away.
