Moranbah is a fun mining town host to plenty of outdoorsy activities, fun areas and beautiful environs. There are a number of festivities planned throughout the year which you can choose to enjoy.
The Spirit of Folk is experienced at this vintage festival which first began way back in 1996. Today the Wintermoon Festival is a fabulous excuse for you to enjoy an eclectic blend of music that appeals to folks of all ages. The festival takes place within a property in Cameron's Pocket that sits against the stunning Eungella National Park. Bordered by the beautiful St Helens Creek the place offers excellent swimming facilities. Talented musicians from across the country perform at the festival while an abundance of food and craft stalls together with kiddie's activity centres and music workshops enhance your thrill factor. Greater emphasis is placed on family fun, making the venue a safe and fun environment for wholesome entertainment.

The Freemasons Markets take place within the Town Square; just walking distance from the Oaks Moranbah apartment hotel. Held every last Sunday of the month these markets are a riot of colourful produce and happy people. You may want to consider the immense convenience and homely atmosphere of looking for Moranbah hotels that offer apartment type accommodation while enjoying such markets. These come equipped with modern kitchens and spacious living areas for the best experience. Choose one that enjoys a central location within the city centre. The markets of course are a not to be missed attraction if you find yourself within the town on the last Sunday of every month.
If you are in Moranbah over the month of May to November do head over to the beautiful enclaves of Hamilton Island. Enjoy and relish the breathtaking mountain vistas, glistening waters and a chance to push yourself to the limit. Although Hamilton Island is regarded as a relaxation zone the Hamilton Island Endurance events are hard to resist. Choose from the Hamilton Half Marathon, Clash of the Paddles, Great White Haven Beach Run, Whitehaven Beach Ocean Swim and the Hamilton Island Triathlon.
