Winter Harvest Festival

Experience the Winter Harvest Festival in all its glory, celebrating the essence of Eat Local Month in one unforgettable, flavour-filled day!

Our Scenic Rim Food Ambassador chefs, growers, producers and flavour artisans come together to showcase the region’s produce with cooking demonstrations, engaging displays, and workshops.

Take a leisurely stroll through the local produce stalls, enjoy tastings of this season’s harvest, sample local wines, beers and spirits, say hi to the team from 612 ABC Radio Brisbane, and don’t miss the world-famous Tractor Pull!

Remember to bring an empty esky (or three!), pack the kids, rally your friends, and prepare for the ultimate farm gate experience—it’s an event that simply cannot be missed!
