Each alternating year there is either a Food and Wine festival or the Apple and Grape festival boasting street parades, performances, galas and fireworks. However, if you are keen on exploring the outdoors there are 4 national parks that circle Stanthorpe. The Girraween, Bald Rock, Boonoo Boonoo and Sundown parks all offering unique hiking, rock pools, gorges, waterfalls, camping, swimming, rainforests and the famous granite rock formations.
