Fish Lane Festival 2019

Overview

It has been three years since one of Brisbane's busiest foodie laneways decided to start celebrating its awesomeness — and, for the fourth time, Fish Lane Festival is back. Come midday on Saturday, May 11, the stretch of road will enter party mode for ten hours of fun of the eating, drinking, dancing and just generally hanging out kind.

Indeed, 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, with the 2019 fest spanning all the way up to Hope Street. On the agenda are multiple stages of local live music and DJs — with a new one added this year — plus multiple pop-up bars serving up boozy tipples.

Food-wise, everywhere from The Fox to Grassfed to 31 Degrees to Gelato Messina is adding their tasty fare to the spread, and Chu the Phat, Five Sisters, Billykart, Ol' School, Birds Nest and Julius Pizzeria as well. Delicious delights on offer include karaage hot dogs, steamed duck buns, cheeseburgers and last year's huge hit, vegan nuggets. For dessert, think honey puffs, salted caramel brownies and Messina's gelato s'mores.

The music lineup is yet to be announced, but, even with all of the above, entry is free.
