It’s time to dust off your line dancing boots, don those cowboy hats and fasten your belt buckles, because the popular Bootscootin’ Bash is returning to the City of Moreton Bay in 2026.
The event is making its third appearance in the region, after establishing itself as a staple on the local events calendar. The bash will be held at the Morayfield Sport and Events Centre (MSEC) on Friday, 13 February, welcoming families, dance enthusiasts and newcomers.
Mayor Peter Flannery said it was a wonderful way for members of the community to come together, have some fun and enjoy a social night out.
“Hosting an event of this size is no small feat, so it’s great to have seen such a great turnaround for the last two events last year, and we expect this event to be even bigger,” Mayor Flannery said.
Line Dancing, Live Music and Family Fun
The line dancing will be led by Claire Harris from Footloose Fun, who aims to make line dancing accessible for all skill levels and ages. All participants are welcome and no prior line dancing experience is necessary.
Event organisers have said they expect a large crowd at this upcoming bash, as the last event was sold out ahead of time.
Dancing is very much ‘opt in’, so guests can join in for every song or simply pick their favourite tracks to twirl around to. The music will span decades of classic country hits as well as contemporary country tunes across three 45 minute dance blocks.
There will also be country-themed food trucks, live animal encounters, games, face painting for the kids, and activities for all ages throughout the evening.
While it’s not compulsory to dress up in your country-themed gear, there will be prizes for the best dressed, so attendees are encouraged to get into the spirit of the event.
Doors open at 6pm, with dancing kicking off at 6.30pm.
Tickets are $8.50 for adults, $6 for kids aged between five and 16, and free for children under five. Family passes are available for $25. Learn more and get tickets here.
