SUMMARY:Brisbane Convoy for Kids 2026
DESCRIPTION:Get ready for a spectacular day of trucks\, family entertainment and community spirit when the Brisbane Convoy for Kids returns on Saturday 7 November 2026. The annual event brings a convoy of trucks from Larapinta to Redcliffe\, where the celebrations continue at Redcliffe Showgrounds with a full day of entertainment\, activities and truck displays. \nWith the convoy\, truck show\, rides\, markets\, entertainment and an evening fireworks spectacular all on the program\, there is plenty to look forward to. More importantly\, the event brings the community together to raise funds and support a worthwhile cause\, making it a family day out with a meaningful purpose behind it. \n🚛 Watch the Convoy Roll Into Redcliffe\nThe main event begins with the convoy travelling from Larapinta to Redcliffe Showgrounds\, creating an impressive spectacle for truck enthusiasts and families alike. \nThe organisers say the convoy will be a little different in 2026\, but visitors can still expect a sight worth seeing as the participating trucks make their way to Redcliffe. Once the convoy arrives at the showgrounds\, the trucks become the centrepiece of the day’s Truck Show. \nFor visitors attending at the showgrounds\, gates open from 8:00am\, with the convoy expected to begin arriving from around 8:30am. \n✨ See the BC4K Truck Show\nThe BC4K Truck Show is a major highlight of the event\, showcasing an impressive collection of trucks competing across a wide range of categories. \nThe judging covers everything from different truck makes and functions to graphics\, fleets\, decoration and presentation. The 2026 categories include awards such as Best 2026 Model Truck\, Best Rigid\, Best Crane Truck\, Best Decorated\, Best Vintage Truck\, Best Tipper\, Best Fleet\, Best Custom Graphics\, Best Night Lights\, Truck of Show\, Best Bling and Best Heavy Recovery Vehicle\, among many others. \nFor anyone who loves trucks\, this is an opportunity to get a close look at some seriously impressive vehicles while seeing which entries take home the trophies. \n🎡 Enjoy Rides and Family Activities\nThere is plenty planned beyond the trucks\, making the event suitable for a full family day out. \nThe official program lists a range of rides and activities\, including Dodgem Cars\, a Giant Slide\, Frog Hopper and Obstacle Course\, while younger children can enjoy the Tea Cup ride. There will also be Viv’s Petting Zoo\, giving children the opportunity to get up close with animals during the event. \nEven better\, the rides and petting zoo are listed as free of charge for patrons\, adding even more value to the day. \n🎶 Enjoy Entertainment Throughout the Day\nThe showgrounds will also feature entertainment throughout the event\, with a main stage forming part of the day’s program. \nThe official site notes that the event will feature a range of artists and entertainment\, with further details available through the organisers’ program. The event also includes late-night bar entertainment\, giving visitors plenty of reasons to stick around as the day progresses. \n🛍️ Browse the Markets and Stalls\nMarkets and stalls will add another element to the day\, giving visitors the chance to wander around between the truck displays\, rides and entertainment. \nThe organisers are continuing to build the 2026 lineup of market stalls\, so visitors can expect another opportunity to browse and explore while enjoying the atmosphere of the showgrounds. \n🔨 Check Out the Auction\nThe Brisbane Convoy for Kids also hosts an auction as part of its fundraising efforts. \nThe organisers have described the 2026 auction collection as an exciting part of the day and continue to welcome donations of auction items. It is another way for visitors and supporters to get involved while helping contribute to the event’s fundraising efforts. \n❤️ Supporting Hummingbird House\nWhile the trucks and entertainment provide plenty of excitement\, fundraising is at the heart of Brisbane Convoy for Kids. \nThe event’s beneficiary is Hummingbird House Foundation\, Queensland’s only children’s hospice. Hummingbird House provides support and care for children with life-limiting conditions and their families\, including short-break stays\, family support services\, creative therapies and end-of-life care. \nThat makes the event about more than an impressive convoy of trucks. It is also an opportunity for the community to come together\, have a great day and contribute towards supporting Queensland families who need it. \n🎆 Finish the Day with Fireworks\nThe celebrations continue into the evening\, with a fireworks spectacular planned to cap off the event. \nAfter a full day of trucks\, rides\, entertainment\, markets and family activities\, the fireworks offer a fitting finale to the 2026 Brisbane Convoy for Kids. \n🎟️ Brisbane Convoy for Kids Ticket Prices\nTickets are available in several categories for the 2026 event. \nAdults: $25 \nChildren aged 13–18: $15 \nChildren aged 5–12: $10 \nChildren aged 0–4: Free \nConcession: $15 \nCompanions of valid Australian Government-issued Companion Card holders can also receive free admission\, with the Companion Card details required at the ticket gate alongside the full-paying attendee. \n🛏️ Make Petrie Mill Motel Your Event Base\nTravelling to the Moreton Bay region for Brisbane Convoy for Kids?
