WELCOME TO STABLE NQ!

For over 27 years, Stable NQ has been one of Townsville’s most loved Christmas traditions.

A free, family-friendly experience that brings the story of Christmas to life through creativity, collaboration, and celebration.

Each year, more than 40,000 people gather to experience joy, wonder and genuine connection
as our city is transformed into a place where community spirit thrives.

Delivered through strong partnerships with local churches, schools, businesses, and community organisations,
Stable NQ creates inclusive, immersive experiences that inspire hope, foster generosity and bring people of all ages together in meaningful and memorable ways.

We acknowledge God as Creator and owner of all things. We acknowledge that He gave stewardship of the land on which we meet to the Bindil and Wulgurukaba people who have welcomed many other cultures onto this land.

We pay our respects to the Wulgurukaba and Bindal people and their elders/leaders, both past and present, and those who are rising up to become future leaders.
