Sunshine Coast Real Food Festival

Overview

Foodies and local food lovers, prepare to earn those labels. The Sunshine Coast Real Food Festival is back for another year of celebrating, indulging and enhancing everything that drives your culinary fascination.

In the frenzy of demonstrations, conversations, workshops, stalls and hands-on activities that comprise the bustling event, you won't just wander through 100 food and food-related exhibits. You won't just experience 88 sessions with chefs, experts and more — all sharing their thoughts and gastronomy skills on everything from making a bush food banquet and French country cooking to keeping hens in your backyard and surviving restaurant-based reality television — either.

Across the festival's seven venues and two days, you'll also connect with food producers as you contemplate the issues of ethics, sustainability and nutrition of importance to every mouthful of deliciousness you taste. You'll eat, you'll learn, and you'll ponder all things nourishing — and if that isn't real food for thought, then we don't know what is.
