The historic Gold Rush Street Parade is a much-loved Gympie tradition and this year’s parade is no exception.
The parade pays homage to Gympie’s rich gold rush history and is the perfect opportunity for community groups, schools, clubs, organisations, individuals and businesses to get involved. The theme for 2019 is ‘Gold Rush Era’ and, given the twilight timing of this year’s parade, is a great chance for entrants to creatively illuminate their float.
The community floats will be complemented by a spectacular lantern display by primary and high school students under the tutelage of a professional lantern maker.
The 2019 Gold Rush Street Parade will start at 7pm on Friday 18 October leaving from the Gympie Civic Centre and finishing in Mary Street where the celebration will continue with live music, food vans, street performers and kids rides. Participation in this year’s Gold Rush Parade is free.
Register your float online at www.gympie.qld.gov.au/goldrush. Registrations close Wednesday, 16 October 2019.
