Capella Annual Events Capella Annual Events

Capella has a number of large annual events for residents and visitors to enjoy and/or participate in.

How about taking up the challenge of becoming a camel jockey for just one autumn day, or you could give giant thong tossing a go on January 26.

Don’t miss the large numbers and variety of craft stalls at Christmas in July. Turn back time with the machinery and tractors of yesteryear in all their chuff-chuffing glory on the second Saturday in September.

Gasp at the antics and close calls of rodeo clowns as they protect fallen competitors throughout exciting bull riding rounds.

There are other events during the year and information on these can be found in the Capella Covered Arena section of this website or in the Capella Community Newsletter, available from the newsagents.

Throughout the year also, there are rock concerts in the Capella Covered Arena. Artists who have appeared include Jimmy Barnes, Shannon Noll, Lee Kernaghan, Midnight Oil, Human Nature and INXS.

There is a range of accommodation options supporting Capella’s events and attractions, from camping facilities to caravan park, to cabins and four star motels.
