It’s almost here - the amazing Chinchilla Melon Festival!
If you've never seen anyone split open 47 watermelons in 60 seconds using nothing but, well... their own melon, you should probably come to the Chinchilla Melon Festival for one heck of a good laugh!
Chinchilla is known as the melon capital of Australia and that fact is celebrated with pride and extreme fun annually in February.
There’s back-to-back entertainment for the whole family with markets, a street parade, arts and crafts, a poets' breakfast, luncheons, free concerts, and loads more over the week. So pull on some old clothes and take to the streets of Chinchilla,that are awash with melon mayhem. But be warned: you might end up in a very sticky situation!
Some of the excitement to look forward to includes:
•The ever-popular Melon Skiing;
•Melon Dash for Cash;
