Little Brothers Mussel Festival
Enjoy all-you-can-eat molluscs at Brisbane’s first mussel festival.
Overview
If feasting on seafood is your idea of a culinary dream, then prepare for the best day out imaginable. Think mussels. Then, think more mussels. In fact, keep thinking of them — however many you can handle, that's what you'll find. No need to ask "does this look like someone who has had all they can eat?", Homer Simpson-style, here.
Little Brothers Mussel Festival is putting the obvious type of bivalve mollusc in the spotlight, and in your mouth, with devouring as many as you can stomach all part of the ticket price. There'll also be fresh oysters on entry at the afternoon-long event from the Mussel Brothers and Kinkawooka Mussels, plus a cooking demonstration, live music and cheese tastings from White Gold Creamery (and cheese plates for purchase too). In case you need to break up all of that seafood, there'll be other edible items that didn't come from the ocean on offer as well.
The mussel-tastic celebration takes over Wandering Cooks between 3pm and 10pm on June 10, and if you want to go along, you'd best get in quick. Tickets are getting snapped up fast, and unless more are released, only VIP packages currently remain — but, they do include a cooler of mussels to take home with you.
