FNQ Field Days

Run by the combined Atherton and Mareeba Rotary Clubs, the community event continues to raise record amounts each time the event is run. On average 5,000 people came through our gates each day.

Held over three days on a biennial basis, the award-winning field days is the largest community event on the Tablelands. The Field Days started in the mid-1980s when one of Atherton’s pioneering farming families, the Beatties, offered land on their Malanda-Atherton Road potato farm for a field day.
