This year, you'll have another excuse for enjoying a cheeky springtime G&T — Australia's biggest ever gin and tonic festival is heading to Centennial Park. Descending on the park's Rose Gardens from Friday, September 27, to Sunday, September 29, the Fever-Tree Gin & Tonic Festival is a huge tasting event dedicated to the classic tipple.

Here, you'll have the chance to sample over 30 different gins — South Australia's award-winning Never Never Distilling Co to Melbourne's Four Pillars and international favourite Hendricks — matched with top tonics from Fever-Tree's range of mixers. Explore the pop-up Gin Village, then grab a snack from one of the food trucks or kick back with a gourmet picnic hamper. You'll even spy a limited-edition G&T-infused frozen treat from Mr Goaty Gelato.

Rounding out the springtime fun will be live entertainment, lawn games and activities, as well as a series of complimentary drink demonstrations, expert-led workshops and product discovery sessions, where you'll have the chance to scout out some new favourites.

Tickets to the Fever-Tree Gin & Tonic Festival clock in at $65 (or $55 if you get in quick), which'll score you entry and six mini gin and tonics.

Fever-Tree Gin & Tonic Festival will run from Friday 4–10pm, Saturday 2–9pm and Sunday 2–8pm. For more information and to purchase tickets, head this way. Fever-Tree is also offering Concrete Playground readers $20 off the ticket price for Friday night tickets — just use code: CPFRI.
