Stable NQ is one of Townsville's most loved Christmas traditions, bringing the whole community together in celebration. For nearly thirty years, this free, family-friendly festival has combined creativity, storytelling, music, food, and live entertainment to create a joyful experience for all ages.

Each year more than 30,000 people attend Stable NQ, making it a premier tourist attraction and one of the largest Christmas festivals in North Queensland. Families, visitors and locals gather as the city comes alive with connection, celebration and Christmas spirit.

Stable NQ awakens hearts to the wonder of Christmas, it is an immersive and interactive experience, building community and fostering generosity and belonging and is made possible through the collaboration of local churches, Townsville City Council, schools, businesses, volunteers and community organisations, all working together to create a memorable Christmas experience.
