2026 Highlights
Outback skies are like no other. Colours as diverse as a paint palette, each day presents a new tapestry in the sky to be admired.
Hughenden
The Festival of Outback Skies is held in Hughenden, located half-way between Townsville and Mount Isa on the Flinders Highway, North West Queensland.
Wide-open spaces and memorable experiences await in the outback town of “Hughie” and you’ll find plenty of things to down in the region during your visit.
The Festival of Outback Skies acknowledges and pays respect to the Yirendali people, the Traditional Custodians of the land on which the festival is held. We recognise their enduring connection to the land, skies, and waterways of this region. We support the involvement and rich cultural contribution of our First Nations artists to the festival.
