The Mackay Showgrounds came alive last weekend as families flocked to enjoy the 2025 Mackay Family Carnival — a vibrant celebration of rides, lights, and laughter that ran from September 24 to October 5. Over twelve days, the Showgrounds transformed into a wonderland of colour and excitement, offering everything from thrilling rides and classic showbags to sizzling food stalls and crowd-favourite Pluto Pups.
Visitors of all ages immersed themselves in themed nights, including the lively Country and Western Night, a playful Dress-Up Party, and the adventurous Scavenger Hunt Sunday. Parents and children alike enjoyed the chance to test their skills at sideshow alley, take a spin on adrenaline-pumping rides, or simply soak up the bright carnival atmosphere under the glowing lights.
With free entry and daily specials adding to the fun, the Mackay Family Carnival proved a standout of the school holidays.
