Heritage Nanango Country Music Muster

The 2019 Heritage Nanango Country Music Muster will be held at the Nanango Showgrounds in Cairns Street, Nanango from September 12-15, and today the Muster will start with a Bush Poets Breakfast from 7:00am to 10:00am, followed by an Official Welcome at 11:30am, and then an Invited Artists Concert from noon to 10:00pm. Admission today is $20 and tomorrow an all-day pass will be $35, or $20 if you come after 3:00pm; or you can buy a 4-day pass to the entire event for $50 (young people aged 14 to 17 can get tickets for half price, and under-14s accompanied by an adult can get in for free). Camping will also be available at the Showgrounds and fees range between $7 and $9 per night for unpowered or powered sites.
