Mackay and Whitsunday Life

Queens Park Is Paradise

Thousands of people converged in Queens Park on Saturday with picnic blankets, camp chairs and tasty nibblies for the Wisely Wine and Food Day.

One of the biggest days on the Mackay calendar saw punters immersed in wholesome sounds thanks to an eclectic array of local and interstate entertainment.

The Grassroots Stage brought up-and-comers to a new audience while the Main Stage had some of Mackay and Australia’s biggest names, headlined by Aussie pub icons Choirboys who closed with their mass singalong ‘Run to Paradise’.

Everyone took the opportunity to sample the wide choice of sweet wine, scrumptious food, craft beer and more on offer and a short sprinkle of rain did little to dampen people’s spirits.
