Sunshine, live music, incredible local food and thousands of smiling faces made this year’s Wisely Wine & Food Day another unforgettable highlight of the Mackay Festival of Arts.
As Mackay’s largest free family day out, Queens Park was buzzing from morning to night as the community came together to celebrate the best of our region. Families relaxed on picnic rugs, friends gathered over great food, and visitors explored the vibrant mix of markets, local producers and kids zone.
As the proud Naming Rights Partner, Wisely is honoured to support an event that brings so much joy, connection and community spirit to Mackay. The day was a fantastic showcase of the talented local businesses, artists, makers and food vendors who help make our region such a special place to live, work and visit.

Most of all, thank you to everyone who came along and supported the event. Whether you stayed for an hour or spent the entire day enjoying the festivities, you helped create the incredible atmosphere that makes the Wisely Wine & Food Day so great.
And what better way to finish than with Budjerah taking to the stage. His powerful vocals, genuine connection with the crowd, and unforgettable performance captivated audiences, providing the perfect soundtrack to a spectacular day in the park.
From all of us at Wisely, thank you for celebrating with us. We’re proud to support events that bring our community together and showcase the very best of Mackay.
