    The main Festival weekend is run over three days, mostly in the centre of town and various other venues, it celebrates the Citrus Industry and the town of Gayndah that supports it.  

    The Festival is a great drawcard to Gayndah, very well-known regionally and throughout Queensland, and offers a snapshot of rural life to visitors.  Each Festival is based around a theme, and many of the local community organisations, sports clubs, schools etc get involved with their own side events.
