Noosa Eat & Drink Festival 2025 (May 29 – June 1) is the ultimate celebration of coastal cuisine, world-class chefs, and laid-back luxury. But why limit your experience to just four days? With Noosa’s pristine beaches, lush hinterland, and vibrant local culture, extending your stay transforms a foodie weekend into a truly unforgettable getaway.
The Noosa Eat & Drink Festival 2025 is the ultimate celebration of coastal cuisine, world-class chefs, and vibrant entertainment.
The heart of the festival is the Festival Village, set in the picturesque Noosa Woods along the river, where the energy is high, the flavours are bold, and the vibe is unmistakably Noosa. Across the weekend, this buzzing hub becomes a tasting paradise with pop-up food and drink stalls, live music, artisan producers, and the ever-popular Culinary Stage, where Australia’s best chefs and mixologists serve up cooking demonstrations, tastings, and insider kitchen tips. Relax under the trees with a glass of wine or a craft cocktail and enjoy the laid-back, beachside festival atmosphere that Noosa is famous for.
But the festival magic doesn’t stop there. Across the four days, the Signature and Restaurant Events showcase Noosa’s leading chefs and iconic venues through a dynamic series of long lunches, progressive dinners, sunset soirees, hands-on masterclasses, and intimate collaborations with visiting culinary stars. Think Champagne and seafood pairings at Locale, a Mediterranean feast at Season, and many more one-of-a-kind experiences.
Every event is thoughtfully curated to celebrate Noosa’s local produce, iconic dining culture, and culinary creativity – blending international influences with distinctly local flavour. There’s something to surprise and delight every palate.
