Mackay Festival of Arts

The Mackay Festival of Arts is an annual month long season of events and activations held in July across the Mackay Region. Supported by the Mackay Regional Council, this dynamic program features both large-scale festivals to small scale productions produced by local event organisers, community groups and businesses, showcasing local artists, performers, vendors, venues, and iconic sites, all of which make us uniquely Mackay. From indoor exhibitions to outdoor spectacles, from free community gatherings to ticketed performances, the Mackay Festival of Arts offers something for everyone to enjoy over the festival season. Join therm as they celebrate winter in the tropics with the Mackay Festival of Arts in July 2025. There's no better place to be!
