The Gold Buckle Campraft Championship 2026 is set to lift the bar again with expanded prize money, major feature events and a national title debut that puts Willinga Park firmly in the spotlight. Expect big runs, big moments, and a festival style event experience beyond the arena, with entertainment, shopping, hospitality, and plenty to keep the whole crew entertained across the four days.
