The Beer, Footy & Food Festival 2019

Overview

It's a decades-old inner west tradition: watching the Newtown Jets' home footy game, from up on the hill at Henson Park, on a Saturday afternoon each July. But things have been dialled up a few notches over the years and it now coincides with the annual Beer, Footy & Food Festival, which celebrates its fourth outing on Saturday, July 27.

A winter ritual for footy-lovers, foodies and everyone in between, the event is set to dish up a huge afternoon of family-friendly fun. As well as that famed game of rugby league, expect a celebration of another inner west triumph — craft beer. Keep that thirst in check with drops from over 20 different brewers, including Grifter, Wayward, Batch, Yulli's Brews, Young Henrys, Frenchies, Willie The Boatman and a heap more.

Organisers have roped in a good number of food vendors, too. Get ready to enjoy snacks form the likes of Mary's, Arepa, The Oxford Tavern, Rosa Cienfuegos and Salt Beef Beigel, among others.

And kidults and littlies alike are sure to be kept busy with a petting zoo, obstacle course and even a couple of jumping castles. As an added bonus, dogs are welcome, too.
