The festival is on Saturday 13 February 2027, from 3 pm to 8 pm. Entry is free and no tickets are required.

The council event page gives the venue as King St, Caboolture. The Visit Moreton Bay listing is more specific and names Caboolture Town Square, 4 Hasking St, in the Caboolture town centre. Look for the signs and crowds in the town centre.

What’s on

The organiser lists a packed program of live entertainment and cultural performances, plus food and market stalls and family activities. It has not published a timetable or named any performers yet, so the order of the afternoon is not known.

• Live entertainment and cultural performances
• Food stalls and market stalls
• Activities for the whole family
• Fireworks to end the night (you cannot bring your own fireworks or flares)

Planning your visit

• Cost: free entry. Food and stall purchases are extra.
• Dogs: dogs are welcome on a lead, and owners must clean up after them. The organiser suggests dogs leave by 7:30 pm because the event ends with fireworks.
• Mobility: mobility devices and aids are allowed.
• Food and drink: you can bring your own food and drink, but the event is alcohol-free, glass-free and smoke- and vape-free.
• Banned items: weapons, large tents or shade structures, pepper spray, electric scooters, skateboards and bikes.
• Rain: rain will not cancel the event, but weather-related safety concerns may change the program. Any weather cancellation is posted on the Whats On Moreton Bay Facebook page.
• First aid: available on site.
• Timing: arrive around 3 pm if you want a park nearby and a look at the stalls before the crowd builds.
• Toilets and accessibility details: the organiser has not published them, so check before you go.

Tips for the day

With no timetable published, treat it as a drop-in event rather than a show to catch at a set time. Arrive when the stalls open up at 3 pm, wander, eat, and plan to still be there as the evening winds towards the fireworks.

The festival is on a Saturday in February, so expect warm weather. Bring water, sun protection and a hat for the afternoon, and a light layer for after dark. If you are bringing children, agree a meeting spot in the square in case you get separated in the crowd.

Because parking is limited to the streets around the town centre, consider being dropped off or walking the last stretch. Leave a little extra time at the end of the night, when the fireworks crowd leaves together.

Getting there and parking

The festival site is about 50 minutes by car from the Brisbane CBD. For public transport, use the Translink journey planner.

Parking is street parking only and it is limited. The organiser asks you not to block driveways, and suggests walking if you live nearby.
