The official launch of Abell Point Marina Airlie Beach Race Week tomorrow, Friday, July 26 will spark the beginning of an event-filled month in August. <\/p>\n

Event organisers of Abell Point Marina Airlie Beach Race Week, the Whitsunday Reef Festival and the Great Whitsunday Fun Race are all anticipating a huge month this August with all three events occurring within the same week. <\/p>\n

And, with the Reef Festival hosting the official opening of the new Airlie Beach Main Street, the entire community is expected to join in the celebrations. <\/p>\n

The launch of Abell Point Marina Airlie Beach Race Week tomorrow will mark the countdown to the biggest keelboat regatta on Queensland\u2019s mainland, running from August 9-16. <\/p>\n

Abell Point Marina Airlie Beach Race Week Event Chairman Rob Davis said everyone is feeling the anticipation and excitement of all three events. <\/p>\n

\u201cThe month will be refreshing for the entire Whitsunday community and we hope everyone joins in the fun \u2013 or, just come down to watch the festivities take place,\u201d Mr Davis said. <\/p>\n

\u2018We are also excited that the sailing club\u2019s popular Great Whitsunday Fun Race is tagged onto the end of Abell Point Marina Airlie Beach Race Week and features in the middle of the reef festival,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Whitsunday Reef Festival Chairperson Margie Murphy said the entire committee will be bringing a top festival this year, running from August 15-18. <\/p>\n

\u201cThe Whitsunday Reef Festival committee is excited to be bringing you arguably the biggest event ever to hit the streets of Airlie Beach. This year the festival incorporates a two-day street party to celebrate the unveiling of our new-look Airlie Beach Main Street,\u201d Ms Murphy said. <\/p>\n

\u201cA state-of-the-art stage right in the middle of the street will host some of Australia\u2019s top artists including Timomatic who will follow on from the Porters Friday Night Fireworks \u2013 itself an iconic annual event on Airlie\u2019s calendar,\u201d she said. <\/p>\n

The entire region will see the action in August with the Shag Island Cruising Yacht Club \u2018Vice Commodore\u2019 Rendezvous at Montes Reef Resort and Hamilton Island Race Week also held throughout the month. <\/p>\n
