Get ready to pack your picnic rugs and dancing shoes – the 2025 Mackay Festival of Arts is bringing the party to your backyard with Savour the Suburbs!
This July, the festival is hitting the road (and the beach, and the valley!) for three unforgettable Sunday sessions that celebrate the heart and soul of our region.
From the salty sea breeze of Bucasia to the lush Pioneer Valley and the golden sands of Grasstree Beach, Savour the Suburbs is your passport to local flavour, fun and festivity.
Mayor Greg Williamson said each event was a vibrant mix of live local music, artisan markets, regional produce and family-friendly fanfare – all set against the stunning natural backdrops that make our suburbs shine.
“Whether you're a foodie, a music lover, or just looking for a great day out, there’s something for everyone,” Mayor Williamson said.
“Savour the Suburbs is more than just a concert series – it’s a celebration of community, culture and connection,” he said.
“It’s about discovering the hidden gems in our own backyard and supporting the local talent and traders who make Mackay magic.”
“Bring the whole crew – these events are open to all ages and perfect for a Sunday family outing. Why not make it a mission to attend all three and truly savour the suburbs?”
Join in Savour the Suburbs at:
Bucasia Esplanade, July 6, noon – 4pm.
Pinnacle Cricket Club, July 13, noon – 4pm.
Grasstree Beach, July 20, noon – 4pm.
And, don’t forget Tin Can Radio will feature for the young and young at heart at Foodspace Mackay on July 2 to 4.
Kids and their favourite older person will take over the airways at a fun pop-up radio station.
