Pyrmont Festival 2016

Overview

Pyrmont Festival turns six this year, and they're marking the occasion with one of their best programs yet. It's a whopping ten-day festival of wine, food and art, running from May 13-22. The annually beloved event promises a pretty well jam-packed program of live music, unique dining experiences, exhibitions and sculpture installations featured all around Pyrmont.

Every day of the festival program is different — ranging from Persian feasts, five-star dining experiences to wine tasting. The whole festival's an appreciation of local fare, but also a particular ode to the tasty food and wine being produced by our friends up in Mudgee.

The festival's kicking off with a free two-day headliner event in Pirrama Park on Saturday, May 14, with live music, art and rides. Be aware, it is a family event, but to counterbalance any possibility of delightfully vocal children is the existence of 100 food and wine stalls scattered around the park. You can chat to local producers and sample delicious local goodies. As well as food stalls, there are also wine testing packages available, with prices starting at $20.

The Pyrmont Festival opens on May 15 at 11am for a two-day headliner event at Pirrama Park. Various events will be held throughout the week — the lineup can be accessed here.
