A full day of Avocados and country fun!
Experience the charm of Blackbutt Avocado Festival, a rustic adventure celebrating all things avocado. Access the freshest avocados and homegrown delights at our market filled with markers, farmers and wares.
Cheers! Like all good country yarns, this too started over a cold beer at the local pub, Blackbutt’s Hotel Radnor in 2016. Two fellas, an avocado grower Barry Trousdell and medical centre operator Jeff Connor, standing at the bar as mates, dreaming the Blackbutt Avocado Festival to life to honour the signature commodity of their town of Blackbutt.
