Wynnum Seafood Festival

Overview

We've known for a while that the Wynnum-Manly area is brimming with the ocean's finest bounty. In fact, we've even suggested going on a fish and chip crawl there. Who doesn't want to mosey between coastal greasy spoons and eat seafood by the seashore at every one of them?

Well, the fine folks in the city's east have gone one better: they've made a whole day of fun out of the bayside's fondness for bugs, crabs, prawns, oysters, scallops and plenty of kinds of fish. That'd be the Wynnum Seafood Festival, a new community seafood event that'll take over Edith Street overlooking the iconic Wynnum jetty on October 22.

Eating is the main thing on the agenda, of course, so you'd best skip brekkie and make sure you're in the mood for some local catches. And it wouldn't be a fest without live music and market stalls. How else are you going to work off all that delicious seafood you're going to be devouring — and wander around the foreshore, learn about its heritage, breathe in the sea air and check out the charming stores that make it such a popular destination?
