Townsville Public Holidays 2026

Townsville and the North Queensland region follow the Queensland public holiday calendar. The Townsville area also observes a local Show Day for the Townsville Agricultural Show — the date varies each year and is gazetted by the Queensland Government. Townsville's large Defence community means Anzac Day has particularly strong local significance.
