WHAT’S ON

More country atmosphere than you can poke a stick at.

  • Live Music

    Country tunes and Aussie classics get the boots stomping early, then a late-night DJ takes over and carries the dance floor into the wee hours. A fitting finish to a big Quinny Saturday.

  • A man in a blue checkered shirt and rolled-up jeans, barefoot, participating in a tug-of-war game at an outdoor event, with spectators in the background.

    Novelty Events

    It ain’t all about the horses. From ‘Drag ya Bag’ to dog racing, kids foot races and the dash-for-cash, there’s something for everyone… no matter how many legs you’ve got.

  • Gymkhana

    Gymkhana takes over the middle of the track in the morning, with barrel racing, bending, flag races, walk-trot-gallop, sack races, Mintie and egg-and-spoon chaos. Juniors, seniors and masters battle it out for ribbons, trophies and bragging rights.

  • Three people are running alongside a horse on a dirt track during daytime, with trees and a fence in the background.

    Donkeys

    The Donkey Society of WA brings obstacle courses, relays and the much-anticipated donkey race. Plenty of laughs, plenty of chaos and a very loyal fan club.

  • A white sign with large black lettering reads 'SWAGS AND TENTS' with an arrow pointing to the right. The sign is placed on a dirt ground with some rocks and dry grass, and in the background, there are trees, parked cars, and a tent, with the sun setting in the distance.

    Camping

    Camping is sorted, hot showers, toilets and three nights sleeping amongst the picturesque Quindanning hills. Gates swing open Friday and most roll out Sunday in search of the Quindanning Pub.

  • Whoppas and Walers (NEW)

    Introducing our new trackside event that’s guaranteed to make the ground rumble. Heavy horses take main stage in Whoppas and Walers, lining up for 400m of horsepower and heart.

  • Two men at an outdoor refreshment stand, one in a tank top and baseball cap, the other in a green shirt and wide-brimmed hat, filling a glass from a cooler labeled 'ICE WATER'.

    Food & Bev

    Food and bev is covered. Main bar from 12pm, wine and cheese bar for the fancy folk, and plenty of food trucks to feed the hungry mob.

  • A young girl in a floral dress with red, blue, and white flowers, wearing a cowboy hat with a rainbow-colored bow, leaning on a wooden post at an outdoor event with a crowd of people in the background.

    For the Kids

    The kids don’t miss out - playgrounds, foot races, face painting and Lego-lawn create the perfect storm of sugar, competition and creativity. Consider it Quinny’s unofficial sleep strategy for Easter Sunday.

  • Trackside Events

    Trackside action runs all arvo with front row seats to the Quindanning Cup, the Jumbo Memorial Sprint, the Powderpuff Derby and other crowd favourites.
