Magnetic Island Post Office Easter Parade
Easter is always a popular time to visit Magnetic Island. If you are visiting Maggie around Easter (date TBC), be sure to look out for the annual Maggie Post Office Easter Parade in Nelly Day. It’s always a fantastic celebration that captures the spirit of the island community.
Easter Egg Hunt
While we’re on Chocolate Day (AKA Easter), Maggie is the perfect place for a treasure hunt, don’t you think? Makes sense it’s an even better place for an Easter egg hunt! This Easter (date TBC), head to Amaroo on Mandalay and keep the kiddies entertained while you enjoy the resort.
Mother’s Day Classic
A visit to Maggie has to be a spectacular way to celebrate Mother’s Day. If you are there on Sunday the 11th of May, maybe consider joining the annual 2km walk/run and help support breast cancer research. What a perfect way to celebrate Mother’s Day while enjoying Nelly Bay AND helping a very important cause.
