Live Events & Family Entertainment in Tambo

What is the best time to visit Tambo for live entertainment? The absolute best time to visit the Royal Carrangarra Hotel is during the outback tourist season from April 1st to October 31st. During these peak months, we scale up our schedule to offer incredible live events and entertainment 7 nights a week!

Here is what you can look forward to when you visit:

Ben's Famous Chicken Racing (April – October): Join us every single night at 5:00 PM for an all-ages, fun-filled night of chicken racing. It’s a must-do outback experience that raises money for local charities! Plus, you can pre-purchase budget-friendly meals from just $10 before 5:00 PM.
7 Nights of Live Music (May – September): The entertainment doesn't stop when the races finish. Throughout the cooler months of May to September, we host live music 7 nights a week right after the chicken racing! Enjoy fantastic live performances from popular touring artists like Mark McGurgan (subject to availability) while sipping an ice-cold house beer.

Whether you are looking for a hotel with live events like chicken races in Tambo or just a great spot for family-friendly nightlife in the Queensland outback, the "Carra" is the ultimate place to be.
