Pumpkins will be rolling again in Goomeri on Sunday for the 17th annual Goomeri Pumpkin Festival … the region’s largest and zaniest annual event.
The day-long festival will kick off at 6:00am when the barbecue in the SES Building gets underway.
Street markets will open at 8:00am.
During the day there’ll be a lot of pumpkin-themed events: decorated pumpkins, pumpkin bowls, giant pumpkins, pumpkin shotput etc.
But the highlight – as always – will be the Great Australian Pumpkin Roll which will get underway at 2:00pm. Registrations to take part in the roll will be taken from 8:30am.
There’s also plenty of other events, including whipcracking, bush poetry, live music, a bullock team and a street parade at 10:30am.
