A Heartfelt Thank You from Brews, Beats & Treats @ CQ Beer + Cider Festival
The team at Brews, Beats & Treats would like to extend our sincere thanks to our amazing sponsors, supporters, and ticket holders who have stood by us and helped bring this event to life.
This event was originally created to help raise much-needed funds for the Yaralla Gladstone Harbour Festival — a beloved, free-entry community event that brings joy to so many in our region. Your support has helped make a difference, and for that, we are truly grateful.
Unfortunately, following the cancellation of last year’s festival due to low ticket sales and again this year for the same reason, we’ve made the difficult decision that 2025 will be the final CQ Beer + Cider Festival. After two years of financial loss, and as a not-for-profit organisation, we simply cannot continue to absorb the costs.
While this is goodbye to Brews, Beats & Treats, it’s not the end of our journey. We’re excited to share that we’ll be back in 2026 with a brand-new event — bigger, better, and bursting with fresh energy!
We can’t wait to reveal what’s next… so keep your eyes on our socials and stay tuned. Your support means the world, and we look forward to having you with us on this new adventure.
What could it be? You’ll have to wait and see.
With gratitude,
The Gladstone Festival and Events Team
