Close to 150 uniformed soldiers of the 3rd Combat Engineer Regiment (3CER) will be involved in a parade along the main street of Airlie Beach next Saturday and the whole community is invited to come and watch the spectacle.
The Freedom of Entry Parade will begin at Broadwater Avenue Carpark and continue along the Airlie Beach main street.
The 3CER were bestowed Freedom To The City in November 2017 to acknowledge their invaluable assistance following Tropical Cyclone Debbie.
As part of the event, Mayor Ry Collins will conduct a Mayoral address to 3CER and community members.
There will also be a vehicle display and a performance from the RAR band.
In addition, the Airlie Beach Saturday markets will still be on, with the variety of stalls there is something for everyone.
This event is being supported by the Whitsunday Regional Council, road and carpark closure information can be found on their website.
