Gear up for an adrenaline-pumping, fashion-filled, drool-worthy, culturally-immersive and revving good time in Rockhampton this year with the launch of Advance Rockhampton's 2022 Major Events Campaign. 

Located in the heart of Central Queensland, Rockhampton plays host to over 25 major events a year, attracting visitors from far and wide.

Events play a large part in Rockhampton's visitor economy. In 2021, Rare Spares Rockynats in its inaugural year generated $4.76 million in direct and incremental expenditure for the region alone, bringing with it 16,500 spectators – close to 10,000 from out of region.

With events like Rockynats, Capricorn Food and Wine Festival, Pop Up Polo, CapriCon and PBR Rockhampton Invitational events hosted in the heart of the Riverside Precinct and throughout the CBD, visitors have the luxury of relaxing in 4.5 star accommodation with stunning views over the Fitzroy River (Tunuba) to Mount Archer (Nurim) National Park, all while being within walking distance to event and dining precincts.

From burnouts to pop culture to bull riding to food and wine, there really is something for everyone on Rockhampton's 2022 major events calendar.
