What's On

In Queensland, events are simply an excuse to have a great time. Enjoy life to its fullest at food and wine festivals where Queensland’s food and wine producers meet to showcase their finest products. Visit a local event in a small town and experience an Australian community lifestyle.

See some of the world's best athletes at golf and tennis tournaments, car races, triathlons and cycling competitions. Bring out your competitive nature as you watch professional Aussie Rules, rugby, soccer or a cricket match.

Participate in one of the many fishing or outrigging competitions around the Great Barrier Reef and then celebrate your victories in the evening with street parades and live bands.

Thoroughbreds take centre stage with premier horseracing events while country carnivals and equestrian events show Australia's rural past. Heritage events draw on a rich history and celebrate indigenous culture, stockmen and ethnic settlement.

Mix with locals and you'll how see the rural life blends happily with the 21st century. One thing is certain; there’s so much to do on a Queensland holiday!
