### What We’re About – Noosa Social Connections
💛 “I started Noosa Social Connections to help more people experience the joy of community — the laughs, the live music, and the friendships that make Noosa so special.” — Stacey McCray, Social Connector & Meetup Host
We’re a community of locals who love getting out, having fun and enjoying live events with great company. From music, comedy and theatre to dancing, festivals and special celebrations like Melbourne Cup - there’s always something happening in and around Noosa.
Rather than going to events on your own, join our group — it’s more fun to laugh, dance, and share good times together!
Whether you’re over 40 and single, a fun couple, or new to the area and keen to expand your friendship circle, you’ll find your tribe here. 💫
