What is the Variety Backyard Bash?

6 DAYS. GREAT MATES. A BASH WITH HEART.

Ready to hit the road for a cause that counts?

Welcome to the Variety Backyard Bash – a different kind of Bash designed to keep our community connected while continuing to support the regional towns, families and children who need us most.

Over six unforgettable days, you’ll journey through regional NSW, connect with friends old and new, discover hidden gems and spend more time experiencing the towns and communities that welcome us along the way.

This isn’t about racing from stop to stop. It’s about slowing down, supporting local communities and sharing the kind of moments that make a Variety Bash so special.

See the impact of your fundraising as Variety continues delivering vital grants, programs and experiences for kids who are sick, experiencing disadvantage or living with disability.

Join the Backyard Bash and drive with purpose. Because every kilometre travelled and every dollar raised helps kids live without limits.

Registrations for the 2026 Variety Backyard Bash are now open.

The Difference You'll make

Thanks to fundraisers, like our dedicated Bashers, we can help ensure that all children across Australia have access to the same opportunities regardless of ability or circumstance. 

The work we do gives children the opportunity to improve mobility, gain freedom and get involved in their community, where they can better communicate, achieve independence and increase their self-esteem.
