The spirit of giving is roaring into town this winter with the Christmas in July Toy Run on Saturday, 5 July 2025, supporting the Mackay Hospital Foundation.
Bike and car enthusiasts alike are invited to join the festive convoy, with entry being one new, unwrapped toy to brighten the lives of local children in hospital care. The event kicks off from Mackay Harley-Davidson at 9:30am, with a sausage sizzle on hand to fuel participants before the ride departs at 11:00am.
The route winds its way to Kickstart Saloon, General Gordon Hotel, and finishes at the Eton Hotel, where the celebration continues with live music, cold drinks, and a MEGA raffle brimming with generous prizes donated by the community. Raffle tickets will be available throughout the day, with the big draw happening at the Eton Hotel.
If you can’t make it on the day, you can still be part of the giving. A special Christmas tree is set up at Mackay Harley-Davidson, where donations of new toys are gratefully accepted.
Whether you're rolling in on two wheels or four, grab a toy, bring your holiday spirit, and help deliver smiles this July.
