What a way to start the day!  Enter the Mt Marlay 5km Fun Run - starting at the Stanthorpe Visitor Information Centre, participants will run (or walk!) around the town course, up Mt Marlay (919m above sea level) finishing in the Main Street. 

The town then comes alive with the Street Carnival, Stalls & Entertainment, great Food & Wine and an opportunity to enjoy the traditional Grand Parade as well as the Market in the Mountains, Rides for young and old, Roving Musicians and Bands - and a whole lot MORE!

 

After the Grand Parade comes the legendary Grape Crush where Celebrities and local identities come together to compete for the title of Queensland Grape Crushing Champion!

 

As darkness falls, watch the skies above the town as the fantastic Fireworks Spectacular commences.  Live entertainment continues into the night in  Weeroona Park and local Hotels.
