Staged during the last week of April and the first week of May each year, 10 Days in The Towers is a celebration of many things. To the fore is the sound of country music which can be heard daily in the town’s many hotel bars and on the streets of the central business district as the popular buskers entertain shoppers and passers-by. But the 10 Days in The Towers is not only a country music festival – it is so much more than that. Locals and visitors also enjoy line dancing, bush poetry, talent quests and historic tours during the period of the festival which also includes two country music festivals – the All Australian Jamboree and the Charters Towers Country Music Festival. The reality that thousands of visitors gravitate to Charters Towers for this unique annual festival is testament to its ongoing success.

Jenny Its the probably the best time of year to visit CT. So many activities on and around the town from the buskers, the bush poems and of course Country Music. I love Mayday weekend and especially now as a business owner loves all the tourist it brings....... Erin Good food, good people and great music...... Andrew The best music ever (country)..... Kristy Country music, markets, buskers and lots of traffic..... Christine Music Fun Laughter and community Spirit....Andra Ten days in the Towers is when a different kind of Aussie culture is on display. A time when we experience new sounds and words or are transported back to our childhood, the backs of our legs stuck to the vinyl seats of the old holden, choking on dust with the sound of Chad and Slim crackling out from the cassette player. Ten days to celebrate our heritage and our future...... Kylie
