⭐️👏 WANT TO GIVE BACK? THIS IS THE TIME 👏⭐️

2027 will mark our 90th Rockhampton Eisteddfod and we have some big plans to make this milestone one to remember.
But with big plans, we need big hands! 💙💛

The Rockhampton Eisteddfod has been bringing performers to the stage since 1923, made possible by generations of volunteers who have generously given their time, ideas and talents.

Now, we'd love to welcome some new faces to our committee. You don't need years of Eisteddfod experience. You don't need to know everything. You simply need a willingness to get involved, lend a hand and be part of an incredible team working together to continue this wonderful tradition.

Whether you've been involved through dance, music, speech & drama, schools, your children, or you simply want to give something back to our community there's a place for you.

Come and help us make our 90th Eisteddfod something truly special. 🥰

💙 Join our team. Be part of the tradition. Help shape its future. 💙

The 90th Rockhampton Eisteddfod
26th April - 23rd May 2027

Since 1923, the Rockhampton Eisteddfod has been inspiring performers and celebrating the performing arts across generations.

In 2027, we'll be celebrating this incredible milestone with a very special Eisteddfod, and we'd love you to be part of it.

📅 Save the dates now and keep an eye on our page over the coming months, we're planning a few special ways to celebrate this historic occasion, and we can't wait to share them with you. 🥰

Whether you're a performer, teacher, volunteer, supporter or audience member, we'd love you to join us as we honour 90 years of tradition while celebrating the next generation of talent.
