The Stanthorpe Apple & Grape Harvest Festival has been a beloved tradition since 1966, and in 2026, it marks an incredible 60 years of celebrating the Granite Belt's rich harvest and vibrant community spirit.

Every second year, this much-loved 10-day festival draws huge crowds eager to savour the region's crisp apples, world-class wines, and welcoming country atmosphere. It's one of Queensland's most iconic events - and it just keeps getting better. From the colourful street parade to the iconic grape-crushing antics, the festival promises fun for all ages.

The 2026 program carries on the legacy with standout attractions such as:

• The Banchetto Italiano long lunch
• Apple Pie and Apple Peeling Competitions
• Markets, live entertainment, local flavours and countless festive moments.
