King Street Food Fiesta 2023
Kick off this year's Valley Fiesta with a Friday-night food fest serving up $8 plates and live tunes across two stages.
Overview
Valley Fiesta is back for another year with a packed program, which once again means oh-so-many bands and musos filling oh-so-many Fortitude Valley spaces with tunes. Also returning: live music on King Street in Bowen Hills, which the Fiesta is clearly counting as the Valley for this occasion. And, that soundtrack will accompany a second fiesta that's coming back for the second time: the King Street Food Fiesta.
Stocking up on sustenance is always a smart idea to start any festival, so Valley Fiesta is beginning with an entire celebration dedicated to tasty bites just like it did in 2022. King Street's eateries will get in on the action, serving up tasting plates from $8 featuring their signature dishes right in front of their venues.
Running from 5–10pm on Friday, November 3, this food wonderland wants you to get wandering around the precinct, tucking into whatever tempts your tastebuds from nachos, bao and chicken wings to dumplings, cheese and charcuterie, and pasta. Venues taking part include Xin Chao, El Camino Cantina, Super Combo, Fat Dumpling and Bar Gusto, with Il Verde setting up a spritz bar, plus Archie Brothers' Cirque Electriq doing pizzas and cocktails.
You'll also be listening to live tunes across two stages, with a focus on talents such as Taitu'uga — Talking High Chief, Kuzco and Lucy Korts.
That same spotlight will see King Street also play host to Brisbane artists, and line the road with new art.
