Tweed Foodie Fest aims to bring the agricultural production to the fore and showcase the season’s finest locally grown produce – from paddock to plate. Foodie Friday is BYO table, chair, drinks and appetite.

The street feast is part of a five day program of ANZAC centenary commemorations that is being held by the Tweed Foodie Fest Committee, the Tweed Regional Museum, Tweed Regional Gallery, Tweed River Jockey Club and the Murwillumbah Farmers’ Markets. The festival concludes on ANZAC Day with a race day at the Tweed River Jockey Club. The Foodie Fest stalls will move trackside to tempt your tastebuds and there will be live entertainment by Lou Bradley and the Creedence Revival Show. For automobile aficionados, the Mount Warning Historic Auto Club will also host an exhibition of restored historic cars.
