Celebrating the best this food-focused laneway has to offer.

Overview

When Gelato Messina moves into the neighbourhood, you throw a party. Okay, to be fair, the first Fish Lane Festival happened last year. However, with some of Australia's best ice cream-makers setting up shop in the area — plus a host of new eateries, too — there's never been a better time for a repeat shindig. That's what'll happen come midday on May 13, with the laneway entering celebration mode for ten hours of fun.

Eat, drink, dance and hangout in one of the best stretches of roadway Brisbane has to offer, and prepare to make both a day and a night of it. There'll certainly be plenty of spaces tempting you to stay for as long as possible, including including three stages of local live music and DJs, the Bertie Cider Garden packed with Colonial Brewing Co's beverages, the Tanqueray Gin Jungle serving up exactly what you think, and the Ketel One Espresso Martini Bar doing the same.

Food-wise, everywhere from The Fox to Billykart to 31 Degrees is adding their tasty fare to the spread, complete with charcuterie bento boxes, cheeseburgers and sliders, and house-made s'mores. Or, opt for Five Sisters' meze platter, Chu the Phat's lion's head meatball and potato bread brisket sandwiches, Saccharomyces Beer Cafe's chilli nachos made with stout infused chilli — or whatever one-of-a-kind custom gelato flavour Messina whips up.
