MEIA Al  9936 🥑 A wonderful celebration of all things Avocado. Second saturday in September every year! 🎉 🥳
(14)

The best weekends to be in regional Queensland are those at the beginning of spring, especially when you find a charming town like Blackbutt. The sun rising and falling paints the sky with luminous colours; and still in mornings' first exhale, Winter has just enough chill to make your morning coffee be all the better to hug the mug. It’s worth the scenic drive a few times over, and, if you have th

e time, honour it with a long stay at the Blackbutt Showgrounds. Be welcomed up the Blackbutt range, just past a large Avocado Orchard by the fresh air and sounds of the bellbirds and the town in festive mode for AvoFest on the second Saturday in September.

Our Story

Every year Blackbutt holds Australia's only Spring Avocado Festival! The Blackbutt Avocado Festival will be on Saturday the 11th of September 2021.

Bloomin’ Beautiful Blackbutt is the gateway to the South Burnett Region. Blackbutt has a great variety of things to see and do, including the must see Roy Emerson Museum, two amazing Art Galleries, library, the famous Bunya Nut Cafe, a Pub with gorgeous meals, and the award winning Blackbutt Bakery. Blackbutt boasts a variety of accommodation options including great camping and caravan sites at the showgrounds in Bowman Road. The infamous Brisbane Valley Rail Trail (which is the site where our Avocado Festival is held) continues north from Blackbutt to Yarraman for 19km. The section between Moore and Yarraman is 47km and makes for a great adventure through the forestry and traversing some great Queensland countryside. The Blackbutt Visitor Information Centre is located in the slab hut at Les Muller Park in Coulson Street. There you can find maps, brochures and ideas for countless adventures in the South Burnett. You can contact them on (07) 41630633.
