Minlaton is getting ready to blow out 150 candles and the party plans are already looking sky-high… literally. Aerobatic displays, parachute drops, fireworks, and a whole lot of Yorke Peninsula flair and hospitality are on the cards for this three-day epic event.

Across the weekend of March 27-29, the town will be going off like a frog in a sock with exhibitions, school reunions, historical tributes, and some good old-fashioned country fun. There'll be art, music, museum tours, machinery displays, community catch-ups, and a Town Hall Gala featuring an official opening from the Governor. And the Watsacowie commemorative brew will be launched then too.

Kids will love the face painters, George the Farmer, and carnival rides. History lovers can sink their teeth into cemetery tours, oral histories, and a brand new Minlaton coffee table book. And those just chasing a good time will be well looked after with market stalls, food vans, vintage tractors, and live music at the oval.

The whole thing wraps up with a Sunday service and lunch gathering at Minlagawi Gum Flat Reserve.

More than your run of the mill town party, this event is about celebrating community and honouring Minlaton's history, remembering the people and stories that shaped the town, and creating something meaningful for future generations.

The Yorke Peninsula is the traditional lands of the Narungga (Nharangga) people, who have lived on, and cared for, this country since the beginning of time. We work, live and travel on Nharannga Banggara [Country], and we take time away from those pursuits to acknowledge and pay our deep respects to the Nharangga Elders of the past and present. 

Today, it is essential that we continue to care for and protect our spectacular natural environment. Tread lightly and leave no trace. Learn more about responsible and respectful travel on Yorke Peninsula.
