6 – 8 March is what is known as the ‘big weekend’, with the Grand Parade and grape crushing fun.

The Stanthorpe Apple & Grape Harvest Festival is one of Queensland’s longest running and most successful Festivals!

The biennial festival is a celebration of the Granite Belt region’s produce and booming wine industry. An average of 60,000 people attend the festival and this is arguably Australia’s leading harvest festival having a successful track record spanning five decades.
