Motorists are advised that a number of road closures will be in place across Ayr this weekend to allow for the safe staging of the Queensland Country Bank Burdekin Water Festival Grand Parade and Mardi Gras.
The closures will take effect on Saturday, the 6th of September, with some extending into the early hours of Sunday, the 7th of September.
Road closures include:
6am Saturday to 1am Sunday
12.30pm to 7.30pm Saturday
7.30pm Saturday to 1am Sunday
Motorists are encouraged to plan ahead, follow detours, and exercise patience while travelling in and around Ayr during the festival.
The Burdekin Shire Council and Water Festival Committee thank the community for their cooperation as the streets come alive with floats, food stalls, entertainment, and celebrations for one of the region’s most loved annual events.
