This year’s May Day celebrations brought Collinsville locals together for a vibrant and memorable day of fun.  

Mayor Ry Collins was present to show his support and enjoy the festivities.  

“It was great to be out with the community for this year’s celebrations, continuing a proud tradition that has been bringing Collinsville together for more than a century,” Mayor Collins said.

From the moment the float parade made its way down the main street, the atmosphere was full of pride.

Families enjoyed a great array of activities, with children’s mixed track events and novelty races keeping the younger crowd entertained. Classic favourites like the tea-cup ride and animal farm added a sense of nostalgia, while free amusements ensured there was something for everyone to enjoy. The atmosphere was lively and inclusive, a true reflection of the values that have long defined Collinsville — hard work, resilience and togetherness.

As the afternoon rolled into evening, great food and entertainment kept spirits high, before the day concluded with a spectacular fireworks display lighting up the night sky. It was a fitting finale to a celebration that once again brought the community together in the best possible way.

‍

“Collinsville has always been built on hard work, resilience and strong community values – and May Day is a celebration of exactly that. It’s about recognising the workers, families, volunteers and local organisations who keep communities like this strong.” Mayor Collins said.

‍

The event was widely regarded as a wonderful success, highlighting not only the town’s vibrant spirit but also the importance of coming together to celebrate shared history and community pride. Days like these serve as a reminder of how vital local traditions are in strengthening connections, supporting one another and ensuring Collinsville continues to thrive for generations to come.

“A big thank you to the Collinsville Neighbourhood Centre, volunteers, schools, sponsors and local businesses who make this event happen year after year.”
