2026 Festival the best since COVID

27th Jan 2026

Early figures suggest the 2026 Guyra Lamb and Potato Festival recorded its biggest attendance since COVID, marking another succesful year for the much-loved community event.
Weather conditions were mostly kind, although storms on the first weekend caused a phone outage. Guyra VRA came to the rescue installing Starlink at the gazebo to maintain connectivity, however the disruption did impact some stallholders for an extended period.
The music program was well received, with strong crowds enjoying a range of quality performances alongside the festival’s food offerings.
The Show and Shine was another major success, attracting around 160 vehicles which is believed to be the largest number of cars the festival has hosted. Proceeds of just over $2,000 from this event were raised in support of BackTrack.
The festival has now operated for 40 years as a volunteer organised event which an outstanding achievement for a small regional festival.
