DEFENDER FEST 2026

Held this year at the Fraser Coast Sports and Recreation Precinct, Hervey Bay, on the 3rd Oct 2026 from 09:00. Come and immerse yourself in the ultimate gathering of Land Rover Defender enthusiasts. 

There will be plenty to keep you entertained across the day! 

Not lining up for the Show'N'Dusty?

GENERAL FESTIVAL DAY ENTRY TICKETS $5 PER PERSON AT THE GATE. 

Whether you're looking for inspiration, equipment, or simply soaking up the culture. We will have the very best exhibitors from Defender-centric manufacturers and businesses, outdoor adventure, service, maintenance and Defender lifestyle-related vendors on the field. Chat directly to the people in the know, and support our community.

A great day will work up a hunger and a thirst - we’ll have some of the tastiest food trucks the Fraser Coast has to offer, and Wide Bay Brewing to wet the thirst, under the British Off-road Marquee. 

To satisfy the inquisitive shopaholics, we'll have a variety of market vendors selling unique items. You might even find that elusive piece of bookshelf memorabilia!

Land Rover Defenders ooze culture, and there will be plenty of it! 

Plenty of fun to be had, you’ll just have to be there! 

Plenty of fun to be had for the whole family across the day!

In feild demonstrations across the day!
