Pet Policy
A little note about furbabies...
We know you love your four-legged best friends, but sadly the Kumbia Country Festival is not the ideal place for them. Because the festival features livestock as well as expensive machines and vehicles, the festival committee respectfully requests all pets be left at home, unless they are registered service animals.
South Burnett Equine Assisted Learning

Rachael and her fabulous colleges (2 legged and 4 legged) will be out on the day to meet and greet these beautiful creatures, interact, ride and learn all about them!

Alvin the Avocado
For Alvin the Avocado, it's always easy being green!
The delicious poster child of the Blackbutt Avocado Festival is dying to visit the Kumbia Country Festival! Alvin is a big supporter of all things South Burnett, so are we very excited to have him!
While he’s here to promote the Blackbutt Avocado Festival (on the following weekend), Alvin is looking forward to checking out everything Kumbia has to offer. We reckon he'll be green with envy at our car and machinery show, get his slice of fun at the kids’ activities and mash it up at our market stalls!
You’ll be sure to 'avo' a good time with Alvin – and if we’re lucky, he might even show off his avo-thletic skills in the Hay Bale Relay!
So make sure you come and say hello to Alvin the Avocado in the afternoon and watch him guac' n' roll to live music!
