Mulch Minion Festival
The Mulch Minion Festival returns on Monday 29th September. Held annually in the cane fields of the Gold Coast, this much-loved community event transforms sugar cane mulch bales into colourful Minion-themed sculptures, creating a trail of fun for families to discover during the school holidays.
Residents, community groups, and local businesses take part by crafting imaginative Minion figures from sugar cane mulch and other materials. These creations are then displayed along a designated trail through the cane fields and surrounding suburbs, including Yatala, Stapylton, Jacobs Well, and Norwell. Families can drive or walk the route to spot each Minion, making it an interactive way to explore the region while enjoying some holiday fun.
A trail map showing all Minion locations will be released closer to the date, so visitors can plan their adventure and experience the full display of creativity on show.
