PCA Kingaroy Peanut Festival and Queensland Strong Man Games
What's On At This Year's
PCA Kingaroy Peanut Festival

You never know quite what to expect at the Peanut Festival! Every year we do something really different and in the last few years the Festival has had everything from giant street parades to aerial acrobats and fly-ins, street performers and roving musicians to peanut silo abseiling and Show 'N' Shines.

In 2008 the PCA Kingaroy Peanut Festival will be held at the Kingaroy Showgrounds in Youngman Street on Festival day, Saturday 2nd August.

And as was the case last year, three big highlights of the day will be the Tarong Coal Project - Meandu Mine Thresher Pull, the Supa IGA Queensland Strong Man Games and the Mission Australia Junior Queensland Strong Man Games (for young people aged 8 to 14).

This year there'll also be Armwrestle Australia competitions (for both men and women) and the Little Peanut Games for children aged 7 and under as well.

And if you'd like to take part in any of these you can obtain a Guide To The Games in PDF format right here (entry forms for these events are on the Festival Forms page of our website).

But there'll also be lots of other things to keep all members of the family amused (as you can see from the 2008 Festival Programme below - click here to get a takeaway copy in PDF format)
