A feast for all the senses
GET ready for some serious fun in Innisfail this month when the 22nd Feast of the Senses returns.
The four-day event kicks off on Thursday 27 March with some fun and fruity trivia at the Innisfail RSL Club with the Gone Troppo Trivia Night, followed by the Northern and Southern food trails during the day on Friday and Saturday, and delicious tropical food events at the RSL and Brothers Leagues Club Bistro in the evenings.
Tickets for the food trails are now on sale and places are filling fast, with a notable increase in out-of-town, southern and international visitors.
“Our food trails are eagerly awaited every year,” volunteer festival manager and president Rosi Jensen said.
“We have some terrific venues to visit on both food trails.
“It’s a great day out and a unique experience of the tropics for locals and visitors alike.”
The Innisfail riverfront and Canecutter Court will come alive on Sunday 30 March with music and entertainment all day, along with a huge variety of market stalls, food vans and taste sensations.
Patrons are advised not to miss the Cassowary Coast Rare Fruits Association amazing display and free fruit tastings in their marquee on the river, with the fruit auction later in the day.
Families with children can enjoy the free and ticketed activities in the Feast of Fun Kid Zone all day while adults can linger at the cooking stage for recipe ideas, demonstrations and free tastings in Canecutter Court.
Sunday’s River Feast, from 9am to 3pm, is a great day out for the family and people of all ages. The Feast of the Senses is Queensland’s premier fruit festival and it’s right on our doorstep.
