What’s on in Somerset
Here in Somerset, we love nothing more than to kick up the dust at a country rodeo or gaze up to the skies at an air show. We’ve got you covered from soil to sky with events to excite and amaze, all year round.
With lakes and landscapes second to none, our Somerset scenery is the perfect backdrop for our diverse calendar of annual events. Our events range from rodeos, bull rides, cattle sales, country races and campdrafts to
air shows, skydiving festivals, food fairs and sporting events.
With regular Parkruns held at Lake Wivenhoe and Kilcoy, you can run to your heart rate’s content. There are events galore held along the Brisbane Valley Rail Trail throughout the year to delight cyclists, runners, and horse riders alike. Don’t miss out on your chance to experience real country, and real adventure. Join in the fun at our next big Somerset event!
