The Mackay West Rotary Christmas Fair 2025 is back and ready to light up the Mackay Showgrounds on Friday, October 24, and Saturday, October 25. This family-friendly event is free to attend from 5:30pm each night and promises two evenings full of festive fun, laughter, and excitement.
From the moment you arrive, the fair is bursting with sights, sounds, and smells that capture the magic of the season. Rides and amusements will keep the kids entertained for hours, from the Giant Slide and Dodgem Cars to Laughing Clowns, a Mini-Ferris Wheel, and the Teacup Ride. Fans of classic fair games can test their luck at the Ham Wheel, Meat Tray Wheel, Cent Sale, and Bottle Stall while hoping to take home a prize.
Food stalls will tempt visitors with a delicious mix of burgers, hot chips, hot dogs, ice cream, and plenty of sweet treats, keeping everyone fuelled for the festivities. Live music from local school bands adds to the atmosphere, with Saint Patricks Cultural Ensemble performing on Friday, and Mackay Orchestra Inc. and Mackay State High School Bands taking the stage on Saturday, starting from 5:30pm both nights.
As night falls, all eyes will turn skyward for the Andergrove Lakes Fireworks Spectacular at 8:30pm, lighting up the evening with dazzling colours and sparkling patterns. Families can also wander into Santa’s Cave to snap a photo with the man in red himself.
All proceeds of this community celebration go directly to local charities and initiatives supported by Mackay West Rotary. Over 75 volunteers work tirelessly to make this event possible, with holiday cheer every year.
