Tickets on sale NOW!

Fraser Coast Mates is very excited to announce that tickets are now on sale for the 2026 Pink Dinner!

And this year, we have something very special planned…

THE BAND IS GETTING BACK TOGETHER… FOR ONE NIGHT ONLY!
Proudly presented by Prime Agents Hervey Bay, this year’s Pink Dinner will see renowned Hervey Bay band Soul City reunite for one incredible night in support of Fraser Coast Mates and mental health in our community.

For many years, Soul City was a favourite on the local entertainment scene, and we feel incredibly privileged to have this iconic nine-piece band coming back together especially for the Pink Dinner.

PINK DINNER 2026
The Band is Getting Back Together… for One Night Only!
📅 Friday 9 October
📍 Hervey Bay RSL
🕕 6.00pm

Held as part of Queensland Mental Health Week, the Pink Dinner is much more than a great night out. It is an opportunity for our community to come together, start conversations and help Fraser Coast Mates continue making mental health and wellbeing a priority across our region.

Tickets are now available – and with Soul City returning for one night only, we expect this to be a very popular night.

Wow! Comedian Lawrence Mooney had the audience in stitches last night at the Hervey Bay RSL. No costumes, no bells and whistles just a very funny man and his words, playing many characters. Nothing else needed, a true master of comedy. ❤️🙏🤣😜
