Mulletfest will head back to where it all began this weekend, the Chelmsford Hotel in Kurri Kurri.

Originally the event was planned as some fun for the locals and hoping to attract some people from surrounding areas, but Mulletfest has now become an international sensation.

Attracting entrants from all over the country and gaining media attention in places like Russia, The UK, North America, and Ireland.

As always, the Mulletfest will be raising money for the Mark Hughes Foundation to help them continue their amazing work in brain cancer research, treatment and care, and with the event now touring around Australia, its homecoming is bound to be a very special event.

Categories include Ranga (redheads), Vintage (over 50โ€™s), Rookie (growing for two years or less), Grubby, Extreme, Everyday and International Mullets.

There are also a range pf categories for junior competitors.

This year the festival team are also selling their very first Mulletfest Calendar. It is currently on sale at all Calendar Club’s pop-up outlets across Australia or can be purchased at Mulletfest events or online at mulletfest.com.au.

Mulletfest will hit the Chelmsford Hotel in Kurri Kurri on 25,26 and 27 February. If you want the chance to show off your luscious locks this weekend, head Mulletfest.com.au to fill out an entry form.
