The Curated Plate pays deepest respect to the Traditional Custodians of this country; the Kabi Kabi and Jinibara peoples of the coastal plains and hinterlands of the Sunshine Coast.
First Nations people are the original storytellers and artists of these lands and we honour the rich cultural contributions that First Nations people bring to our Festival.
Our home-grown festival offers a delicious 10-day celebration of food and drink from July 24 - August 2 2026. Each event experience will showcase our region’s local produce, producers and chefs, and our unique natural assets from the sea to the hinterland.
Over 40 events from hinterland farms to ocean view restaurants, campfire cook ups and wild caught seafood.
