About Our Festival

The Festival is a major Project of the Rollingstone local community with financial and in-kind support also from Townsville City Council. It is strongly supported by other community organisations, local businesses and most importantly our pineapple growers.  The festival is organised and run by volunteers with all funds raised on the day benefiting our local community.
