The search is on for the 2024 Ginger King and Queen at Finn McCool’s Irish Bar in Fortitude Valley, Brisbane! 

The stage is set for another fiery showdown on Friday, August 30th as Brisbane’s natural redheads prepare to compete for the coveted titles. Following the electrifying success of last year’s competition, where Arthur Henry and Ashlyn Tobin, pictured, were crowned the hottest gingers in town, the anticipation for this year’s event is higher than ever.

Finn McCool’s is the only Irish bar in Australia to host such a unique and vibrant contest, and the rules remain unchanged – only natural gingers need apply. 

The pub shared the news on its social media: “Calling all fiery hot redheads in Queensland! Get ready for the most fiery event of the year as Finn McCool’s presents the return of our Hottest Ginger competition! Join us this August to celebrate everything ‘Ginger’ and witness the competition for the title of Queensland’s Hottest Ginger.⁠ Think you know the ultimate redheaded hottie?

Last year’s winners walked away with a modelling contract and cash prize. “It proved to be not only a massive success but a really fun evening,” shared Luke Mellers of Finn McCool’s, reflecting on the electric atmosphere of the event.

Participants can expect a night filled with lively competition, fun cocktails and a crowd packed wall to wall with enthusiastic redheads. As always, the event promises to be a highlight on Brisbane’s social calendar, where contestants vie for the titles amidst cheers and celebrations.

Once the 2024 Ginger King and Queen are crowned, the festivities at Finn McCool’s don’t end there. Later this year, the bar will transform from a sea of red to a sea of green for its annual Finns Fest. Set to be a day of musical magic and pure Irish revelry, this festival promises to whisk you away on a journey of toe-tapping tunes and rhythms.
