Every year since 1998 Windorah hosts the Windorah International Yabby Races on the street outside the hotel.
In each race, up to 10 yabbies are placed in the centre of a ring; the winner is the first yabby to reach the perimeter of the ring, a distance of 2 metres (6 feet 7 inches).
It is held on the Wednesday before the Birdsville Races (first weekend in September).
