The celebration of the classic Aussie haircut returns to the Chelmsford Hotel for its third year on Saturday, February 29.

What began as an idea over drinks in a small NSW country town quickly became the talk of the nation in 2018 as mullet growers and lovers turned up in droves to celebrate the uniquely Aussie style.

And, after much consideration, Denman local Shane "Shag" Hanrahan claimed the inaugural crown.

The event's second year was an even greater success, with 169 entries, and the organisers are hoping to top that number in 2020.

Categories include junior (with four different age groups), everyday, extreme, grubby, ranga and vintage mullet, and for those sporting the classic cut overseas, there is even an international category.

Mulletfest will once again support the Mark Hughes Foundation, raising funds for brain cancer research.

The fun will kick off from 10am.
