Sticky fingers. Powdered sugar everywhere. Absolute determination.

The Donut Eating Competition brought out some seriously competitive little legends — and some very entertaining faces along the way!

There were winners, there was sugar, and there was definitely a sugar rush. 😂🍩

A VERY BIG THANK YOU TO CRUISE WHITSUNDAYS 🪸💙

As we celebrated the 25th Birthday of the Great Barrier Reef Festival this year, we were incredibly proud to have Cruise Whitsundays alongside us as our Naming Rights Sponsor.

For 25 years, the Great Barrier Reef Festival has been about celebrating our incredible backyard, bringing the community together and shining a light on the Great Barrier Reef — and support from partners like Cruise Whitsundays helps make it all possible.

It’s also an exciting time for Cruise Whitsundays, with the newly upgraded Reefsleep offering an even more elevated way to experience the Great Barrier Reef ✨

Thank you, Cruise Whitsundays, for your continued support.
Here’s to 25 years — and many more to come! 🥂🪸

A BIG SHOUTOUT TO OUR REEF FESTIVAL VOLUNTEERS! 💙🪸

The Great Barrier Reef Festival simply wouldn’t happen without the people who give up their time to help make it all happen.

From setting up and packing down to selling merch and helping visitors, assisting with events and keeping things moving across the weekend — our volunteers were there when we needed them.

Thank you for your time, your energy and for being part of Reef Fest’s 25th Birthday Celebration 🥰
