Coolgardie Outback Festival – A True Goldfields Celebration
Every year the historic town of Coolgardie comes alive with one of Western Australia's most unique and vibrant regional events – the Coolgardie Rodeo & Outback Festival. Drawing thousands of visitors from across WA and beyond, the festival showcases the best of country spirit, community pride, and outback entertainment.
At its heart is the ABCRA-affiliated rodeo, featuring Australia's toughest cowboys and cowgirls taking on bull rides, barrel racing, and roping events in front of packed grandstands. Around the arena, the atmosphere is electric with live music, market stalls, children's activities, and food vendors serving hearty outback flavours.
Signature attractions include the dozer, truck & ute muster, the buzzing festival precinct, and the WA Camp Oven & Slow Cooked Championships, where teams from across the state compete for culinary bragging rights. Combined with a dedicated kids zone, cultural displays, and community showcases, the weekend has something for everyone.
With record crowds exceeding 7,600 people at the last event, the festival continues to grow as a cornerstone attraction on WA's regional events calendar. It not only delivers first-class entertainment but also contributes directly to local organisations like the Coolgardie RSL, strengthening community connections and leaving a lasting legacy.
Mark your calendars when Coolgardie once again becomes the place to be for a true outback experience.
