Activities include athletics events and the Maryborough Gift, highland dancing, highland pipe bands, brass bands, highland games, Australian Sheaf Tossing, concert bands, penny-farthing cycling, a street parade, an evening concert and a fireworks display.

The children will be entertained with amusements and carnival activities all day.
