A Floral Paradise Awaits At Mackay’s Autumn Orchid Show

Mackay is about to be transformed into a floral wonderland as the Mackay and District Orchid Society prepares to host its Autumn Orchid Show on March 22 and 23 at the Mackay and District Senior Citizens’ Centre.

For two days, visitors will be treated to a stunning showcase of orchids in full bloom, alongside a treasure trove of gardening goodies, including orchids for sale, pots, potting mediums, tags, and accessories. Whether you're an experienced orchid enthusiast or simply appreciate stunning blooms, this event has something for everyone to enjoy.

Want to sharpen your green thumb? Orchid culture demonstrations will take place at 10:30am on both days and 1:30pm on Saturday, offering expert tips on how to keep those blooms thriving. And no show is complete without a little indulgence – homemade treats will be available to enjoy with a cuppa.

For just a $2 gold coin donation, visitors can wander through a floral paradise, soak in the scent of orchids, and even take a piece of the magic home.

Where: Mackay and District Senior Citizens’ Centre, 58 Macalister Street, Mackay
When: Saturday, March 22 (8:00am – 4:00pm) and Sunday, March 23 (8:00am – 3:00pm)
