When it comes to festivals, there is nothing quite like the Childers Festival held every year on the last weekend in July.
Featuring a myriad of performers, artists and bands and food from every corner of the world, the Childers Festival is the only festival in Queensland which sees the Bruce Highway closed for the day.
The festival kicks off on the Saturday afternoon at 2.00 p.m. with a street party based in Crescent Street with lively bands performing well into the night.
From early on Sunday, which is the main day of the festival, highway traffic is diverted to allow Churchill Street to be transformed into a gigantic food, market stall and entertainment hub. Over the years, the festival has fine-tuned the stalls to ensure that the very best of the Wide Bay and beyond have been selected. Cuisine from dozens of countries is available including Japanese, Thai, Hungarian dishes and German sausages in the Food Courts.
