Dalby’s Delicious and DeLIGHTful Festival is held on the fourth weekend in August. It is Dalby’s signature event and grows each year. The theme in 2023, “The Outback", will focus on country living.

The festival will include a Friday Night Colour Frenzy Fun Run.

The Saturday festival begins with a Welcome Flag Parade focusing on the diversity of the community leading into the Citizenship Ceremony.

The point of difference at this festival is the unique Lantern Parade held at night where hundreds of individual and large lanterns built by the community are featured.

People can taste amazing cultural food, browse the range of market stalls, get involved in the Colour Frenzy Fun- Run, join roving entertainers trying out your skills. There’s an amazing Children’s Area.

Multicultural entertainment will include the colourful Multicultural Dance Competition with stunning costumes as well a range of cultural performers.

“Our Community Platter” will be showcased with Celebrity Chef, Jan Cranitch, featuring local produce such as cereals, pulses and more. The Family Fun Show-off, Cook-off was such a hit last year we are running it again.

Come and experience a contemporary country community event. This festival provides the perfect venue for people to enjoy great experiences and become part of the Dalby community wanting to visit again and again. See Taste Play & Enjoy at Dalby’s Delicious and DeLIGHTful Festival.
