Festival highlights include live music throughout the day and into the evening, guided experiences such as the atmospheric ghost walk through the historic cemetery, and interactive activities like gold and tin panning that capture the spirit of the early prospectors. Markets, food vendors, and community stalls showcase the best of the region, while camping options allow visitors to truly soak in the relaxed country atmosphere.
Set against the stunning backdrop of the Atherton Tablelands, the festival is more than an event—it’s a celebration of community, history, and the enduring legacy of a town built on determination and vision.
Join us from 31 July to 2 August 2026 for a weekend of connection, storytelling, and outback hospitality at its finest.
