The Line-Up

The Highlights

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • A man wearing a cowboy hat, a blue checkered shirt, and rolled-up jeans is participating in a tug-of-war game at an outdoor event on a dirt ground, 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 women are running alongside a foal on a racetrack. The woman in front is wearing a purple vest, red shirt, and cap, holding the foal's lead. Two women in the background are wearing red and blue shirts. There are 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 black lettering that reads 'Swags and Tents' and an arrow pointing to the right. The sign is outdoors in a dirt area with trees, a tent, and some vehicles in the background during sunset.

    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.

  • A young girl wearing a floral dress, a cowboy hat with a rainbow-colored ribbon, and a colorful neckerchief, smiling while leaning on a wooden post at an outdoor event with a crowd 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.

  • Two men at a rustic outdoor beverage stand with a weathered white refrigerator labeled with handwritten signs for ice, water, and wine. One man is wearing a summer tank top and blue cap, the other with a fedora, sunglasses, and a green shirt.

    Food & Bev
