Roma's Easter in the Country

Roma's Easter in the Country Festival is a five-day celebration of all things, country. It quite deliberately encapsulates the unforgiving outback and the quintessential Queensland country lifestyle. The event gives an opportunity for the residents of Roma to invite their relatives and friends as well as 'first timers' to spend a long weekend in the country to enjoy the atmosphere and friendliness that Roma and the Maranoa has in 'spades'.
