KINGSCLIFF’s first foray into the Tweed’s successful Tweed Foodie Fest begins today with a bushtucker dinner at Salt and and a foodie film at Cinemax Arthouse Cinema in Kingscliff tonight.
Tweed Foodie Fest is a five-day celebration of local food and the vibrant culture that surrounds it – a full paddock to plate experience.
Now in its third year, the five-day festival is an authentic, grass-roots showcase of the region’s vibrant culture and cuisine – following the food journey from paddock to plate and, for the first time, canopy to coast.
The jam-packed program includes farm tours and farmers’ markets, food-themed day-trips, self-drive food trails, cooking classes and open days, giving festival-goers an up-close and personal opportunity to meet local growers and producers on their home turf.
But the highlights of the festival will undoubtedly be the nightly feasts held in different locales throughout the region including here on the Coast: from Saltbar’s Bush Tucker Dinner on Thursday 28 November and their Taste of the Tweed High Tea on Friday 29 November, to the Scoot Long Table Dinner in Lions Park, Kingscliff on 29 November and the Tweed’s Biggest Dinner Party at the Murwillumbah Showgrounds on Saturday, 30 November.
