Join growers, makers and cherry lovers as we celebrate the iconic cherry in the heart of Young – Australia’s Cherry Capital – from Friday 5 to Sunday 7 December 2025.

The festivities begin early with Cherry Festival Week, so make it a weekend to remember as the town bursts into colour, flavour and community spirit for this unmissable regional celebration.

Young, nestled in the beautiful Hilltops Region, bursts into vibrant life each December with the National Cherry Festival. Proudly known as Australia’s Cherry Capital, our town celebrates its rich farming heritage and delicious cherries with joy and community spirit.

Join us on the first weekend of December as orchards glow red and green, signaling peak cherry season. Streets bustle with lively markets, music, laughter, and the irresistible aroma of freshly baked cherry pies. For over 150 years, cherries have been central to our story, connecting generations and cultures.

The festival isn’t just about cherries; it’s a vibrant showcase of our town’s resilience, unity, and history. Everyone, from locals to travelers worldwide, gathers to share in the warmth, friendship, and the sweetest cherries you’ll ever taste.

Goomeri - QLD RVFT

Goomeri is a rural town located in the Gympie local government area and is 180 kilometres north-west of Brisbane. It has a small, friendly population of 500 residents. The town is surrounded by beef cattle and dairy grazing country intersected by small ranges and eucalyptus scrub. Rural stations and homesteads were established with European settlement around 1846. Goomeri is said to retain a certain ‘old world charm’, this is reflected in the preservation of its many historic buildings constructed during its agricultural heyday (1930s - 1960s). The art deco inspired Memorial Clock was built in 1939 and is considered one of the towns favourite landmarks. Goomeri boasts a variety of local gourmet food producers including specialty cheeses, olives, and award winning pies. The township lies within easy reach of the South Burnett wine district with numerous vineyards and cellar doors in close proximity. The recently refurbished public park in Goomeri’s town centre now provides an attractive rest stop for visitors to this attractive regional town.Visitors to the town can find short-term parking at Goomeri Showground, cnr Moore St & Laird St (Burnett Hwy). Parking is available for 96 hours, however prior arrangements can be made for extended stays by phoning 07 4168 4177. Parking will cost $15 per vehicle per night for an unpowered site and $20 per vehicle per night for power, and visitors have access to potable water (fee) and a dump point. Goomeri is home to Australia’s only Pumpkin Festival, a free, family-friendly event which is held in late May. The Festival began in the 1990s when farmers were doing it tough and morale was low due to prolonged drought. The highlight of the Pumpkin Festival is the 'Great Australian Pumpkin Roll' down Policeman's Hill. The Festival has expanded to include more pumpkin based competitions including Decorated Pumpkins, Giant Pumpkins and a Pumpkin Quilt Challenge. These events are complemented by market stalls, a heritage and outback street parade, whip cracking, working dog displays, horsemanship displays, roving entertainment and great local food.Tourist/Visitor Centre       Goomeri Information & Heritage Centre, cnr Moore St & Maudsley St, Goomeri QLDPh: 07 4168 4488Casual Parking       Main St; Goomeri ShowgroundShort & Long Term Parking        Goomeri Showground, cnr Moore St & Laird St (Burnett Hwy), (96hr), $15 unpwr, pvpn; $20pwr, pvpn (extended stays by arrangement), Ph: 07 4168 4177Dump Point  Goomeri Showground $2 fee if not staying at the showground - CMCA is working with Council on another potential site for a free dump point.Potable Water          Goomeri Showground, (water has a charge)Hospital        Murgon Hospital (12min), (ambulance transports to Murgon)Doctors Surgery     2/19 Moore St, Ph: 07 4168 4244 (BH); 07 4168 4244 (A/H)Dentist           101 Lamb St, Murgon, Ph: 07 4168 1540Pharmacy     19 Moore St, Ph: 07 4169 7800Supermarket            Foodworks, 20 Boonara St, Ph: 07 4168 4103
