Entrants at the first Maraka Ball - 1968

The first Festival was held in 1959. A Herbert Street Park Mardi Gras was held to assist in marking the centenary in 1959 of the creation of Queensland as a colony in 1859. So enthusiastic was the community response to the 1959 Mardi Gras and it's associated events, it was agreed that it should become an annual function.

The festival was named Maraka in the following year and there has been a Maraka Festival every year since.
