Mount Garnet Races and Rodeo

Mount Garnet Races and Rodeo brings a weekend of country racing and rodeo action to Mount Garnet each May.

Held over the May Day long weekend, the annual event has become a longstanding tradition for the small township on the western Atherton Tablelands. Horse racing is joined by rodeo events and entertainment, drawing competitors, locals and visitors from across the region.

The event reflects Mount Garnet’s strong connection to the surrounding cattle and station country and is a chance to experience the community at one of its busiest times of year.

Make a weekend of it and explore Mount Garnet while you are there, from the birdlife of Wurruma Swamp to the mineral-rich country that has attracted miners and fossickers since the late 1800s.
