Rabbits Eat Lettuce to Return to Texas for Easter 2027
The Rabbits Eat Lettuce Festival will return to Bushland Hideaway near Texas in 2027, following the successful debut of the event at its new riverside home earlier this year.
Festival organisers have confirmed that Rabbits Eat Lettuce 2027 has now secured its Event Permit from Goondiwindi Regional Council, allowing the event to take place over the Easter Long Weekend from 25–29 March 2027.
Set along the banks of the Dumaresq River, Bushland Hideaway hosted the festival for the first time in 2026, drawing thousands of visitors to the region and providing a welcome boost to local businesses, suppliers and tourism operators across Texas, Yelarbon, Inglewood and the surrounding area.
One of Australia’s longest-running dance music festivals, Rabbits Eat Lettuce is a colourful celebration of music, art, community and connection.
Across the Easter Long Weekend, the bushland venue comes alive with electronic music, immersive lighting, installation art, market stalls, food vendors, daily yoga, dance, meditation and other lifestyle activities.
The riverside setting was widely praised by patrons in 2026, with festivalgoers enjoying shaded camping areas, natural swimming holes and the relaxed country hospitality of the Texas region.
Festival organisers said the approval of the 2027 Event Permit was a strong vote of support for the event’s future in the region.
“This is a very special milestone for Rabbits Eat Lettuce,” organisers said.
“REL 2027 will mark the festival’s 18th birthday, and for the first time in nine years, the event will return to the same venue two years in a row. After many years of moving between different locations across New South Wales and Queensland, we are incredibly grateful to have found such a beautiful and welcoming home near Texas.”
Organisers said they were thankful for the support shown by local residents, businesses, emergency services, contractors and Goondiwindi Regional Council.
“The success of the 2026 event would not have been possible without the cooperation and support of the local community,” organisers said.
“We are excited to continue building a positive long-term relationship with Texas and the wider Goondiwindi region, while delivering an event that brings visitors, culture, tourism and economic activity to the area."
