DAYTIME ENTERTAINMENT LOCATION: MAIN STAGE
NEW! Threads of Time: Celebrating 150 Years of Fashion WHEN: 11.30am, 12.30pm & 1.30pm daily Fashion, theatre, and 150 years of history will collide in a showstopping, family-friendly celebration of style and storytelling at Threads of Time: Celebrating 150 Years of Fashion. As part of Ekka’s birthday celebrations, the Show’s much-loved fashion parade will be reimagined as a dazzling theatrical production, taking audiences on a journey through 150 years of Queensland culture and fashion. From the refined elegance of the 1890s to the cutting edge designs of today, Threads of Time bursts to life through iconic Ekka backdrops, striking costumes, dynamic choreography, awe-inspiring musical direction, and live singing. Created especially for this milestone year, the traditional runway transforms into an immersive theatrical showcase produced in collaboration with acclaimed Gold Coast company Grayboy Entertainment, known for 30+ years of world-class productions. At the heart of Threads of Time is a playful time‑travel adventure. When a young girl spins the time wheel, audiences will be whisked through fashion’s most iconic eras — from the glamour of the 1920s and the bold mod looks of the 1960s, to the neon statement styles of the 1980s and 90s — before landing in the present day, celebrating natural fibres and sustainable fashion designed by emerging designers from Billy Blue College of Design. Threads of Time is an energetic, accessible, and visually spectacular production, offering audiences of all ages a nostalgic yet forward-looking celebration of the Ekka’s enduring legacy. It is presented three times daily across all nine days of Show and promises to be a must‑see highlight of Ekka 2026.
