Bingara is getting ready to fiesta as the much-loved Mexican and Margaritas Trivia Night returns on Friday, August 29, 2025, at The Roxy Theatre and Greek Museum.

Tickets are available now for this lively night of fun, food and facts, which is also a major fundraiser for Bingara Central School.

Organiser Brianna Mack said last yearโ€™s event was a crowd favourite.

โ€œLast year was the first time weโ€™d held a Trivia Night and it was a huge success,โ€ Brianna said.

The schoolโ€™s Parents & Citizens Group is sticking with the Mexican theme, which proved a hit the first time around. Expect bold outfits, themed tables and maybe even a cactus or two.

โ€œWe had about 70 people show up, many dressed up in sombreros or ponchos, some as Tabasco sauce bottles and others as a cactus!โ€ Brianna said.

โ€œMost people even bought their own cacti to put on their tables.โ€

This yearโ€™s ticket price is $30 per person (over 18 only please), with a maximum of eight per table, and includes a nacho bowl, lucky door prize entry, and a drink on arrival.

โ€œWeโ€™ll have excellent Mexican food and margaritas,โ€ Brianna said.

And itโ€™s not just about eating and sipping โ€“ itโ€™s a great chance to show off your trivia smarts.

โ€œTrivia nights are a great opportunity to hang out with your friends and meet new people,โ€ she said. โ€œItโ€™s a good way to team up with your besties and use your brain!

โ€œEveryone gets involved and has a fantastic time, while raising money for a good cause.

โ€œThe Trivia Night is an important fundraiser for the school and money raised goes a long way towards helping local kids,โ€ Brianna said.

โ€œItโ€™s a good example of local people in the town pulling together for the benefit of our young people.โ€

The night will feature a range of prizes, including for best dressed table, raffles, and more.

โ€œSeveral local businesses have been very generous donating prizes, including cash and wine and Bunnings always comes on board,โ€ Brianna said.

Doors open at 6pm, with trivia kicking off at 6.30pm, and tickets available online via www.trybooking.com.au/DCJIT or by scanning the QR code on the flyer.
