It’s official, the 2015 Warwick Rodeo and Campdraft has begun.
The first official event kicked off on Monday and will continue through to Sunday 25 October.
Alongside the rodeo and campdraft competitions, the streets of Warwick will be overflowing on Friday with the Rodeo Street Carnival from 5.30pm to 9pm.
Palmerin Street will host rides, live entertainment and food stalls as locals and tourists pack the main street for one of the biggest events of the year.
Then on Saturday the action doesn’t stop with the street parade kicking off from noon through Palmerin Street.
It will be Warwick’s opportunity to get a glimpse of the Rodeo Queens and local businesses and clubs.
Destination Southern Downs said it would be the community’s chance to be part of the festival.
“This year’s theme, Fireflies and Western Skies, has participants channelling their best campsite memories, offering multiple opportunities for schools, community groups and businesses to theme their entries,” a statement said.
“The Warwick community make up this parade with a multitude of colours, characters, rhythms, floats and plenty of handsome horses on show.
“Long-term sponsors like the Warwick Credit Union generously support the parade with some impressive trophies and cash on offer for the winners.”
