Hervey Bay Hop 2026 is on the move to the amazing Maryborough City Hall. A much larger Heritage listed venue with a huge dance floor and loads of seating options including main hall, alcoves and balcony. We are currently working on providing Bar and Catering facilities. There have been some seriously huge dance events held there in the past. 2026 Hervey Bay Hop is going to be a blast. Bands and Artist have been locked in.
QUESTIONS:
• What will be the cost? Still working on this but it will be no more that Hervey Bay Hop 2025 which was $50 for the two nights.
• Where can I stay/camp. We are working on camping options including free camps at the airport at just $10 per night.
• Should I register my interest now? Absolutely. Hervey Bay Hop 2025 sold out….by registering your interest now (by email) we can keep you informed of pricing, accommodation (including camping) and other events in June and July. Please register by email if possible.
