This is to be the first time in 35 years the event will be held.
The festival kicks off tomorrow morning with a morning tea held at the Stonehouse Museum.
Later that night, tourists and residents will gather at the Boulia Rodeo Grounds to dine under the stars.
An expert guide will take them on a tour of the Outback night sky's constellations.
Friday morning's festivities will start with breakfast and target shooting at the gun club before competitors battle it out to be named Outback ironman and woman at the town's aquatic centre and sports centre.
Organiser Shelley Norton said the event would be a test of strength and bush skills.
"We don't want to give away too many details but all the events are to do with the Outback and will have a bush twist," she said.
A street party will cap off Friday's events with a talent show, thong throwing competition and more.
A camel tagging competition will be held Saturday morning as will a dirt bike display.
The event's highlight, the Min Min Gala Ball, will be held on Saturday night.
"We've got four girls doing their debut and we'll have music and entertainment through until late," Ms Norton said.
Ms Norton said it was the first time in recent memory the town had held a debutante ball.
Kalinda Cluff, whose daughter Kayla is one of the four young ladies to make her debut, said she was thrilled to witness her daughter dressed up for the occasion.
"They've all got their white dresses and will be wearing their white gloves," she said.
"It's a nice special occasion for them and it gives us all a chance to get dressed up and get our hair done."
The girls will dance four dances and be presented to several Boulia legends who have returned to the town for the occasion.
"Jim Grimshaw is the oldest one we've got coming back and he's 90," she said.
