October is the perfect month to head to the Scenic Rim. Just one hour from Brisbane, the Scenic Rim is known for its food, wine and nature. Whether you're looking to escape the city for the day or a weekend, there are plenty of events on offer. Here are 6 fun events for all ages:

1. Kalbar Country Day

Held on Saturday 19 October 2019, this is one festival not to miss. Kicking off at 7am with a free bush poetry breakfast, Kalbar's main street will transform into a buzzing hive of activity with markets, games, fashion parades, entertainment and scrumptious country fare.



Don't miss the hay sculptures that dot the landscape.



Enjoy Kalbar's country hospitality by tucking into a delicious Devonshire tea or grabbing a bite to eat at one of the food trucks before relaxing on one of the many hay bales lining the street. Local bands will be performing throughout the day. If you're feeling lucky, don't forget to try your luck at one of the raffles.
