The Strawberry and Dessert Festival

Overview

They're red, sweet and juicy — and they're everyone's favourite fruit. They're also grown in abundance around Queensland. Did you know that 40 percent of the state's strawberries come from the Moreton Bay region?

Well, you do now — and you might just want to celebrate that fact. All you need to do is head on over to Sandstone Point on Saturday, September 18, 2021 for the Strawberry and Dessert Festival.

Because you can never have too much of a good thing, this Sandstone Point Hotel event will paint the pub pink with farm-fresh strawberries — and strawberry milkshakes, strawberry ice cream, scones with strawberry jam and chocolate-coated strawberries are all usually on the menu. So is a strawberry-eating competition, plus a bar serving strawberry-flavoured cocktails.

As you might've noticed, this year's fest has made an addition to its moniker. This isn't just a strawberry festival, as it has been in previous years, but a showcase of many a sweet treat as well. Basically, arrive hungry — and wear something stretchy — as you prepare to devour desserts aplenty.
