Winter Harvest Festival

The 2024 Winter Harvest Festival transformed the picturesque town of Kalbar into the heart of Eat Local Month for an unforgettable, flavour-filled day.

Scenic Rim chefs, growers, producers, and flavour artisans united to showcase the region’s produce through cooking demonstrations, engaging displays, and hands-on workshops.

Visitors explored over 60 local produce stalls—filling their eskies along the way—while sampling seasonal delights and savouring local wines, beers, and spirits.

Food enthusiasts attended live demos and talks featuring Scenic Rim Food Ambassadors, and had the option to join ticketed masterclasses at The Pavilion.

Music filled the air with performances by Lyric and Silk & Oak at the Roots & Revelry Stage, while kids enjoyed activities at the Sprouts Play Patch and the Junior Tractor Pull Competition.

If you missed this ultimate farm gate adventure, we can’t wait to welcome you in 2025!
