The countdown is on to one of Mackay’s most loved community events — and this year’s Family Fun Day is set to be bigger, brighter and more joyful than ever.
Hosted by Mackay Hospital Foundation and presented by Gardian, the much-anticipated event will roll into BB Print Stadium on Sunday 1 June from 10am to 2pm, bringing with it a full program of free rides, family entertainment and live performances.
Entry is $10 for children aged over two, with adults free — and the one-time ticket price covers all mechanical rides, jumping castles and face painting.
From the moment the gates open, young visitors will be met with the sights and sounds of Mad Animal Addiction, where they can get hands-on with farm animals, before heading off to burn some energy on the amusements provided by Hibble’s.
For the grown-ups, there’ll be a showcase of new vehicles, classic cars and the popular Jayden Enterprises Variety Bash car, adding extra spark to the day.
Children will be treated to stage performances by Dance Express as well as live shows from Bluey and Bingo at 10.30am, 11.30am and 12.30pm, followed by a photo opportunity at 1pm. Chase and Skye from Paw Patrol will be appearing throughout the day alongside other crowd-favourite characters.
Food vendors will be on site, including the Mackay North Rotary Food Van, Smokalicious, Dumpling Hut and Xpresso Red Coffee. Hibble’s will also dish up all the nostalgic carnival fare — from fairy floss to dagwood dogs.
Gardian is once again the presenting partner for the fifth year running, supported by platinum sponsor BMA. Silver sponsors include Mackay City Auto and S.H. Tait & Co, with bronze sponsors Jayden Enterprises, Payne Print, SCIG and Wilmar Sugar and Renewables.
Families are encouraged to bring a picnic blanket, hats and sunscreen and enjoy the action. Don’t miss the fun — Sunday 1 June at BB Print Stadium.
