Blackbutt has a great variety of country town stores including the Roy Emerson Museum, Nukku Nook, Blackbutt Art Gallery, Library, community bank cafes, general store, newsagency, fuel supplies and a pub. A regional cellar door operates from Butt Art Gallery in the main street, right next door to the award winning Blackbutt Bakery. The Blackbutt Avocado festival is always a highlight to the South Burnett Region.
Formerly the “Bloomin Beautiful Blackbutt Festival”, the festival changed in 2016 to the Blackbutt Avocado Festival to highlight and celebrate their famous Avocados, but has still managed to keep the traditional charm and character that showcases Blackbutt as a whole.
