Following an incredible relaunch in 2021, the Rotary Club of Beenleigh is proud to be bringing back the much-anticipated Beenleigh Cane Parade and Gala Ball for 2023,.

 

The Beenleigh Cane Parade will be held throughout the streets of Beenleigh on the afternoon of Saturday 13^th May, with the event starting from and returning to the Beenleigh Showgrounds. At the conclusion of the parade, the showgrounds will come alive with the presentation of official awards, food trucks, amusement rides, face painting and a laser light show. This event will be free for the public to attend and enjoy. 

 

The weekend following the Beenleigh Cane Parade will see the Beenleigh Cane Gala Ball return on the evening of Saturday 20^th May 2023. The third gala event to be held at the Beenleigh Events Centre since the return of the event in 2021, the Cane Gala Ball has already become a stalwart event in the Logan community events calendar. Featuring a signature menu crafted to focus on our fabulous local produce, live entertainment, dancing and exclusive auctions and raffles fundraising for local projects. As the hottest ticket in town, the Beenleigh Cane Gala Ball is one not to be missed. Get your tickets here.

 

We are excited to announce that this year, our charity partner is the Mini Farm Project at Loganlea SHS! There are now more than 21% of households, or 1 in 5, experiencing severe food insecurity. This means Aussies are skipping meals or going whole days without eating. Profits from the 2023 Cane event will go towards supporting the Mini Farm Project to provide fresh produce to charities that support the Logan region. 

 

Registrations are now open for community organisations, schools and businesses to participate in the parade entries, register here, Also, if you are interested in coming on board to lend a helping hand, please register you interest with the Rotary Club of Beenleigh. 

 

In 2021, the Beenleigh Cane Parade & Gala Ball was touted as giving our community a great big hug, and in the midst of the COVID pandemic, the community gathering saw young and old come out in droves to experience the spectacle (or reexperience the memories of yesteryear) of passing floats, bands, community groups and dancers. We can’t wait to see what creativity and passion the community holds for their floats and displays in 2023. 

 

You’ll see banners and flyers appearing around town – but save the dates for years to come, Beenleigh Cane Parade on the second Saturday in May and Beenleigh Cane Gala Ball on the third Saturday in May. Bring your family, friends, neighbours, and colleagues and help us continue to grow this iconic community festival back to its former glory as we celebrate the heritage of Beenleigh, our current community, and our future.
