Sit down for a bounteous birthday bash on Thursday September 19 at the 150 Year Boatshed Birthday Dinner. Held at The Regatta Hotel’s acclaimed adjoining restaurant, this elegant evening invites you to dress up to the nines and dine your way through a decadent five-course degustation menu crafted by head chef Lochlan Alexander. Nosh on wagyu bresaola, seared Queensland scallops with Oscietra caviar, pan-fried barramundi fillet, succulent 25-day dry-aged wagyu rump cap and more. And what kind of party is there without cake? Blow out the candles on a slice of classic opera cake, garnished with cocoa sugar and fresh raspberries. Plus a premium three-hour beverage package is included, allowing you to raise a glass or three to the birthday building. Secure your spot for a night that’s sure to go down in history. 

If you’re feeling more freewheeling you can stop by The Regatta’s Laneway Festival from September 13–15. Kicking off from 4:00 pm Friday September 13, this three-day extravaganza will keep the sesquicentennial celebrations flowing all weekend. Savour delectable eats from a variety of gourmet food stalls while sipping on special anniversary cocktails and craft beers crafted exclusively for this event. Above it all, groove to the top-notch tunes provided by talented local and interstate bands and DJs. Headlining the lineup is Yuwi-based indie powerhouse Tia Gostelow who will be performing on Saturday September 14, alongside other acts like JUNO, The Steele, Tommy Sexton and The Suggestions, and Jack Bratt Trio.
