Winton Opal Festival’s 2021

QBOA hold an annual Opal Festival in Winton, usually the second week of July. The Winton Opal Festival and Trade Show is generally the first on the circuit of Australia’s eastern states trade shows, held in opal producing areas. This year, a second festival will be held in September, coinciding with the Outback Festival.

The Winton Opal Festival is held along Elderslie Street, between Werna and Oondooroo Streets. The main street is closed to traffic on Saturday the 10th during the daytime, and you will find traders selling rough and cut stones, as well as jewellery pieces, and allied souvenir items. You may also find some surprises!

2021 Has many more Opal surprises in store with the QBOA holding its second Opal Festival in conjunction with The Outback Festival on the 20th of September 2021 in the main street of Winton. The opal miners, traders, and cutters will be set up and selling their opal from 7am come along and meet everyone when the Opal comes to town.
