For decades the Childers Festival has been lighting up the town with culture, colour, and community spirit and each year it brings something new to love.

From Thursday through to Saturday, Childers comes alive with unique, free and ticketed events showcasing all things Childers.

It’s the perfect lead-up to the main Festival Day on Sunday – when the highway shuts down and the town transforms into a vibrant festival playground filled with food, fun, live music and festivities for all ages!

On Saturday 2 – 8 pm, join us for Childers Festival’s 30th birthday street party!

On Sunday, the heart of Childers is transformed into an action-packed hub of live music, vibrant markets, and unforgettable festival fun! With over 300 stallholders, you can explore an incredible variety of vintage treasures, local produce, handmade crafts and delicious street food, all while soaking in the festive atmosphere.

Across multiple stages, you’ll find a dynamic mix of live music, dazzling dance performances, lively street entertainers and carnival rides for all ages.

Join us in the heart of Childers for the main Festival Day on Sunday. It’s the highlight of the weekend and a celebration you won’t want to miss.
