OCoC is looking for businesses, community groups, schools and individuals to consider donating or contributing in some way to this year’s float.
The float has taken part in the carnival for a few years now and showcases Oakey to the wider world.
The theme this year is ‘Busy as a Bee!’
OCoC is excited to demonstrate to the wider Darling Downs region the great community spirit that Oakey embodies and rally together to make the 2023 Oakey float the best it has ever produced.
