"The Charters Towers Performing Arts Festival was formed 15 years ago by a group of dedicated parents who wanted to give the young people of our community a chance to perform and to show The World the results of all their hard work and practice.

Over the years it has grown and evolved into what is now The Charters Towers Eisteddfod. It is held in August every year and attracted over 1500 entries from all across North Queensland who performed in Music, Dance, Drama and Visual Arts sections, and performed well."
