Weipa Fishing Classic

The biggest event on the Weipa calendar, the annual Weipa Fishing Classic should return to normal in 2021. A smaller version was staged in 2020 at a later-than-usual date due to the pandemic.

Usually staged over three days in June, the event resembles a local town show with sideshows, food vans and live music over three nights.

Of course, there's also plenty of fishing. Make sure you buy an entry ticket even if you don't plan on fishing because there's more than $100,000 in prizes up for grabs in the major raffle. The first prize is usually a boat!
