What to expect
Unlock the secrets of the region's most iconic spaces at the 2026 Sunshine Coast Open House Festival. This year marks a major milestone: our tenth annual celebration of premier architecture, landscape design, and private gardens.
Open the doors to a curated collection of private homes, heritage landmarks, and sustainable masterpieces across the Sunshine Coast and Noosa. From the sun-drenched shores of Caloundra to the lush Hinterland, this free event offers rare access to the artistry defining our local landscape.
The 2026 theme is Sustainable Inclusive Design. Our expanded program includes workshops, walking tours, architectural lectures, and a photographic competition.
Program Highlights:
Returning Favourites: Cooroy House, Kite House, and Moon Mountain Sanctuary.
New Additions: Permaculture Noosa Community Pavilion, Pomona House, and Bombala House.
Heritage Landmarks: Landsborough Museum, Caloundra Lighthouse, and a curated Heritage Pub Trail.
These represent just a small selection of the 30+ properties open for exploration on October 24th and 25th.
Experience the Sunshine Coast from a new perspective through guided tours led by celebrated architects and expert volunteers. To learn more, register for an event, or sign up as a volunteer, please visit the website.
