Get ready for another fantastic event! The Bauple Community is proud to present the Bauple Nut Bash 2024. This year’s theme is Medieval, featuring Knights, Dragons, Kings, and Queens. Enjoy a day filled with family fun in a friendly, laid-back atmosphere, thanks to the incredible support from local community groups, residents, businesses, and the much-appreciated Fraser Coast Council.

There’s something for everyone, from jumping castles and face painting to a colouring competition and much more. Kids can enjoy unlimited access to all activities with a $10 wristband, with proceeds supporting the local Scout Group. Don’t miss the Annual Nut Cracking Championship, celebrating Bauple’s connection to the Macadamia Nut.

Experience live music from RocknRollabillies, The Marshall Brothers (Battle of the Bands WINNERS), Harding’s House, and many more. The famous Piñata Smash, featuring medieval-themed art by Helena Gale, will be a highlight once again. Participate in raffles from various community groups, try your luck at the cent auction, and join the huge Annual Tug of War, culminating in a spectacular fireworks display.

Meet and mingle with fellow locals and get to know groups like the local P&C, Play Group, Scouts, Bauple Band Hall, Bauple Community Shed, Recreation Ground Committee, Historical Museum, and more. These groups come together to ensure the event’s success year after year.

Explore a variety of market stalls and savour delicious hot food from the vendors, including gluten-free options.

Dress up as your favourite medieval character and join this vibrant, growing community to experience the unique atmosphere of the town we love.

This FREE event starts at 12pm on September 7 at the Bauple Recreation Ground, with a licensed bar open until 9pm. Don’t miss out on the fun!
