Sometimes, even the most adventurous among us need a little push, a dash of motivation or some extra incentive to take a particular leap. So you've always wanted to wander around southeast Queensland's Scenic Rim region, but have never found the time? Well, consider the area's annual Eat Local Week all the reason you need.
If exploring, eating and drinking can't get you in the car and down the highway, then nothing can. Unsurprisingly, that's just the big-picture view of this nine-day festival. Promoting Scenic Rim produce and the people behind it, the event marks its tenth year in 2021 — and it has a big lineup in store to mark the occasion.
On the bill: more than 125 events at 48 locations, so you won't be bored during this fest. A number of festivals are taking place within the broader event, for starters, so you can head to the fest for a winter harvest festival, street food festival, and a beer, food and wine festival.
The program also includes everything from a citrus mini market, olive grove tastings, brewery banter, and wine and cheese in a vineyard, to picnics in an alpaca farm, macadamia farm tours, cocktail masterclasses and multiple long lunches. Basically, if it's an event in the Beaudesert, Boonah, Beechmont and Mt Barney area between Saturday, June 26 and Sunday, July 4, it's on the agenda.
