Blackbutt Avocado Festival

Blackbutt Avocado Festival πŸ₯‘ A wonderful celebration of all things Avocado. Second saturday in September every year! πŸŽ‰ πŸ₯³

The best weekends to be in regional Queensland are those at the beginning of spring, especially when you find a charming town like Blackbutt. The sun rising and falling paints the sky with luminous colours; and still in mornings' first exhale, Winter has just enough chill to make your morning coffee be all the better to hug the mug. It’s worth the scenic drive a few times over, and, if you have the time, honour it with a long stay at the Blackbutt Showgrounds. Be welcomed up the Blackbutt range, just past a large Avocado Orchard by the fresh air and sounds of the bellbirds and the town in festive mode for AvoFest on the second Saturday in September.

Can we talk about how absolutely amazing those period costumes were! πŸŽ©πŸ‘—

From dapper gents to stunning vintage gowns, they truly understood the assignment and brought the 19th-century vibes to life on your hobby horses.

Thank you for saddling up, striding hard, and the cheers from the sidelines. You made it a race to remember!

Guess what it is! πŸͺ΅πŸͺ“

The wait is finally over!

Here’s a huge shoutout to everyone who correctly guessed a black cockatoo perched on an avocado! 🦜πŸ₯‘

Watching this piece emerge from a raw log was such an awesome process. The sleek curves of the cockatoo mixed with the unique texture of the avocado made this chainsaw carving one in a million that was designed specifically for the Avocado Festival.
