Toad-ally Wild Sunday – Toad Racing & Live Folk Tunes with Brendan the Bard
Join us for a Sunday like no other at the Bearded Dragon Hotel—where quirky traditions meet soulful tunes in one of the most charming Tamborine events on the calendar.
At around 3:00 PM (weather and toads willing!), our famous toad racing kicks off—an uproarious Aussie pastime that has to be seen to be believed. Pick your racer, cheer them on, and soak up the hilarity with the whole gang.
Before the races, Brendan the Bard will set the tone from 2:00 to 5:00 PM with his earthy indie-folk style, rich vocals, and poetic flair. Whether you’re kicking back with a wine or gathering the crew for a casual Sunday outing, it’s the ultimate way to enjoy Scenic Rim live music in a relaxed country setting.
