Scenic Rim Clydesdale Spectacular

Scenic Rim Clydesdale Spectacular, the richest Clydesdale show in the Southern Hemisphere, is coming to Beaudesert on June 14 & 15 with country roots and cowboy boots - and this year it's kicking off with a major country music concert on Friday June 13!

From pint-sized Shetlands to towering Shires, the event is a full-throttle celebration of the Gentle Giants of the horse world. Over two mighty days, Clydesdale champions are judged, their Scottish heritage is honoured, rare trades are showcased, and their vital place in Australian history is proudly preserved. 

And now, in a major new addition, country music becomes the heartbeat of the hooves, with a brand-new Country Concert headlined by Queensland country star Luke Geiger from 5pm Friday June 13. For Luke, it’s a special homecoming. Almost 30 years after playing Rugby League in Beaudesert and earning an NRL scholarship, he returns not in footy boots—but cowboy boots.

Known for his powerhouse stage presence and authentic sound inspired by legends like George Strait and Garth Brooks, Luke Geiger is one of Queensland’s most in-demand performers. With his steel guitar player hailing from nearby Tamborine, the Scenic Rim spirit will be front and centre on stage.

Scenic Rim Clydesdale Spectacular is the ultimate fusion of heritage and heart, with the 2025 program featuring a host of not-to-be-missed, including The World Whip Plaiting Titles (a global first!) and Queensland Whip Cracking Championships.

There's also the World Billy Boiling Championship, Friesian Horse Troupe performance, Bush poetry, blacksmithing, working dogs, caber tossing, and lumberjacking.

Plus the Scottish vibe will be on show everywhere, with Clydesdale & Clan competitions and the stirring massing of the Pipes and Drum, plus traditional haggis burgers, whisky bar, and kilts galore!

The Scenic Rim Clydesdale Spectacular will be staged in the middle of the region's famous EAT LOCAL MONTH, creating another reason to visit, stay and experience the stunning Scenic Rim.

So saddle up for a weekend where country pride, horsepower, and music collide!
