Childers Festival

Childers Festival

Childers Festival is a celebration of the people and heritage of Childers and the only festival that closes the Bruce Highway! Over four days, on the last weekend in July each year, this charming country town is transformed into an action-packed entertainment hub, concluding with Sunday's famous market day, which regularly sees nearly 40,000 people flock to the small town for celebrity artists and live music from every genre and decade. The incredible markets feature a highway filled with over 300 stallholders where you can pick up vintage treasures, sample local produce and admire hand-made gems and local arts and craft. Those young and young at heart will also be mesmerised by dance, culture, street performers and carnival rides. Experience free and ticked events around Childers including Opera by the Lake, Sugar Mill and Cane Fire tours, historical tours and much more! Head to the website for all the details.
