Steam Fair

The Old Petrie Town Steam Fair returns for a massive weekend celebration on Saturday 31st May and Sunday 1st June 2025, proudly supported by the City of Moreton Bay and the YMCA.

Visitors can experience the charm of beautifully restored steam traction engines, steam rollers, and portable steam machines as they bring the streets of Old Petrie Town to life with chugging engines, tooting whistles, and plenty of nostalgic appeal.

The fair will run from 10am to 4pm on Saturday, and from 8am to 2pm on Sunday, offering a full program of family-friendly fun. A grand parade of vintage machinery will roll through town each afternoon, celebrating the marvels of mechanical history.

Guests can enjoy artisan market stalls, vintage car displays, live music from the park rotunda, roving buskers, and entertainment for all ages, including puppet shows, face painting, unicorn rides, and an animal petting farm. Delicious street food will be available at Mumford’s Barn and the café, with specialty shops, museums, and the heritage hotel also open to explore.

Set among the scenic surrounds of Old Petrie Town, the Steam Fair is a wonderful opportunity to connect with the past and enjoy a lively community atmosphere.

This event promises a weekend of history, entertainment, and fun for the whole family.
