Every Wednesday and Friday from 8 to 10 am at the top of Tickle Park, local musicians ‘The Shoplifters’ entertain locals and visitors alike all whilst raising funds for local charities. The Shoplifters raise about $10,000 each year and this money is donated monthly to local charities including Coolum HeARTs, Cures For Kids, SES, OzHarvest, Movember, and The Shack (Housing Assistance). The musical group who used to meet out front of shops in Coolum, hence the name, have supplemented their fundraising activities with T-Shirt and tote bag sales and these are available to buy directly from the group. The Shoplifters play music in Tickle Park each Wednesday and Friday from 8-10 am.
