DirtNDust Festival 2027
About
This is one of Queensland’s most iconic outback events, held each year in the small and remote town of Julia Creek. Over one massive weekend, more than 3,000 visitors roll into a community of just 400 people to experience pure outback spirit — from adrenaline-charged races and bull rides to live music, rodeo action, comedy events and the famous Australia’s Best Butt competition.With family-friendly entertainment, the South 32 Outer Limits Adventure Run, Multicom Resources DND Rodeo, Julia Creek Turf Club Fashions on the Field, kids’ activities and non-stop country hospitality, the festival brings together adventurers, locals and travellers from across Australia for an unforgettable weekend in the heart of the outback.
Following a huge 30-year celebration in 2026, Dirt n Dust returns bigger and better in 2027 — continuing the legacy, community spirit and unmistakable energy that have made the festival a bucket-list outback experience for three decades.
