In previous years, Celebrate Glasshouse Country Inc. has been instrumental in organising the hugely popular  ‘Glasshouse Country Street Parties’,  which brought local communities and businesses together.

The idea to form a local community led organisation began in 2014, with our group initially known as ‘Celebrate Beerwah Inc’. Run by passionate community members, the current association was established following the success of the ‘Beerwah Street Party’ in 2015.  This large scale community celebration formed part of the launch for the revitalised street scaping of Simpson Street, Beerwah supported by Sunshine Coast Council.

With collaboration and commitment from local  community groups, organisations and businesses this all inclusive community festival was a wonderful way to bring the Glasshouse Country communities together and build community pride and spirit.

In order to better reflect our work across the whole of Glasshouse Country region, our name was officially changed to ‘Celebrate Glasshouse Country Inc. As an organisation we wanted to act as a unifying support for other community groups in Glasshouse Country, and bring a regional approach to events, festivals and tourism in the area.

The success of the 2015 street party was followed up in 2017 by yet another massively successful event which further highlighted the unique and festive spirit of the people and townships that make up the broader Glasshouse Country region. With organisers estimating attendance figures of around 10,000 people, the street parties were highly anticipated community events and 2019, saw yet another stellar street part event held in October of that year.

In recent years with event restrictions due to COVID-19, our association has explored new ways to facilitate community and business partnerships and have focussed on co-creating a community hub space and connecting community groups throughout the region.
